If it happens again, please look at the messages from e2fsck. There are really only three cases --- either the fs is marked for forced fsck every N mounts (or M days), or it is marked as having an error, or it is actually ext2. Because /etc is not available when the root fs gets mounted (obviously!), the list of mounts in /etc/mtab sometimes gets the fs type wrong for the root filesystem. Check /proc/mounts (ie. the kernel's authoritative data) to see if you are getting root really mounted as ext2 or ext3. If you converted the root fs yourself from ext2 to ext3, then it may be that you have not rerun mkinitrd and so you are still getting root mounted as ext2.
