    It will run fsck after a crash, but the fsck simply runs the journal
    on ext3 filesystems that were uncleanly mounted. So the fsck will run
    very quickly, *unless* the kernel had detected some kind of filesystem
    error, and had set the "the filesystem has errors" flag, in which case
    the full fsck check will be run.

    If you're seeing a full fsck (i.e., a run which takes over a minute
    and where you see the progress bar) after a crash consistently, you
    might want to check and make sure that you've really converted the
    filesystem in question to ext3.....
