Hi, As I understand in case of EXT3 filesystem there is NO need of e2fsck when system is power pulled (or system crash). Are there any circumstances during power pull or system crash, where even in EXT3 upon boot, e2fsck maybe required. B'coz what I see is that I have EXT3 and when system is power pulled, upon reboot it asks for e2fsck for consistency check. The hard disk drive cache is disabled in the setup. Is it possible that something in journal may not have commited to the disk and hence fsck consistency is required? Thanks in advance for your inputs.
