Unless I'm mistaken, the second release of Red Hat Linux that contained ext3 support, started creating filesystems without autocheck enabled by default, as it was considered unnecessary. I believe that is still the default on newly installed systems, although upgraded systems retain their settings IIRC. I don't remember exactly which OS release that was however. It's really not necessary, but it's an option at least, for those who want the check enabled anyway. -- Mike A.
