Yes, but as the subject says, this is with ext3, which happens to be the 
default filesystem, so by default newbies see this ...

The last time I tested ReiserFS as root fs (which was a while ago) it was 
pretty robust, and repeated hard reboots couldn't do a thing to it, where 
with XFS as root fs (last time I tried this was 9.0) it would easily 
destroy a file that was open, most commonly seen by having a few files 
required by xdm removed ...

Anyway, with ext3, I guess the complication is that fsck.ext2 and 
fsck.ext3 are the same file, and ext2 should be doing an fsck on boot.

But, this discussion should be done in the bugzilla entry, so can someone 
confirm if this still happens on cooker (otherwise I will do it tomorrow 
morning, I think I still have ext3 on / on my cooker box).

Regards,
Buchan
