One of the advantages of ext3 or other journalled

isn't it?
True, but FC3 installed on my machine does
insist on running a "slow" fsck upon an
abnormal reboot on ext3 filesystem. If am
not mistaken, most other distributions
behave similarly with ext3 filesystem
(fsck can take upto 1 minute or more for
completion for partitions exceeding 20 GB).
However, fsck on reiserfs is a lot faster
(Slackware/Debian), though it exhibits its own
problems when grub is configured as the boot
loader with stage2 residing on reiserfs partition.
