Hmmm, well it seems you did the partition thing the hard way. If you open a terminal, su to root and run diskdrake You can change the partitions from ext2 to ext3 in place and it also changes the /etc/fstab entries so they say ext3 as well. I would suspect that if you open a terminal and cat /etc/fstab that you will find ext2 as the filesystem listed. This would be the reason for fsck instead of journal playback. Civileme
