I highly doubt that. As Ralf wrote, there are two other possibilities:
Every ext2/ext3 filesystem is per default checked on every 20th mount or
if more than 6 months have passed since the last check. This happens
whether the filesystem was cleanly unmounted or not. So it looks like
that this is what happened to you.

Look in /boot/, there is a file called 'config-${VERION_OF_YOUR_KERNEL}'.
