Frankly, I'd rather use write-through.
I believe there are three modes that ext3 can be setup to do journelling one of which may be write through. Believe those modes are set at fdisk time.
In any case, I don't see any argument for not using an extended fsck on a reboot after improper shutdown, which was my original question.
Uh, on a megabyte or 10 - 30 GIG hard drive it's a minor inconvenienc. Running
fsck on a 250 GIG hard drive or worse a system which has terra byte systems is something else. Can you say major delays? J.
