well if I'm not mistaken, the filesystem goes through a rough fsck when it comes up, and if it finds corrupt data, then it'll run a full fsck on it...
It's been forever since I've ran fsck though. |

ext3/reiserfs/xfs are journaling file systems. They typically do not need an fsck after an unclean shutdown. ext2 is not journaled and needs a check on boot.
Whether fsck is done or not depends on the last (6th) field for the filesystem in your /etc/fstab file. For journaled filesystems this field is set to 0 (no check). For non-journaled root, it is set to 1 and for non-journaled /usr, etc, it is set to 2.
man fstab for more details. |
