That's right --- after an unclean shutdown, fsck will run, but it will only perform a journal replay. fsck on ext3 does *NOT* scan the full filesystem unless the forced fsck interval has elapsed or the filesystem has been marked as containing an error that needs fixing. A journal replay is always required after an unclean shutdown --- that's the whole point of the journal. It doesn't matter if the fsck does the replay at startup time, or the kernel does it later on at mount time, you still won't get a full fsck unless there is something else forcing it.
