Why is it deemed necessary to force a run of e3fsck at boot? It's a journalling fs, it's expected to cope.
good question.
The journal is just a redundant log of operations performed on the file system. It takes an fsck to verify the file system's integrity and replay the journal entries needed to repair any damage found. As an aside, for reasons I don't understand, my 10.2 box sometimes has journal entries to replay upon restart (sometimes quite a few of them) even when it did not crash. I don't know if that's a sign of a problem or normal for Reiser file systems.
