Some file system developers initially took this to mean that no fsck was needed at all. In part, this was true - the system no longer needed to repair half-finished writes by scanning the entire file system, it only had to replay the log. But fixing half-finished writes was only one part of what fsck did. It also checked for and repaired corruption caused by disk errors, file system bugs, administrator error, and any other source. These sources of errors are less common and can be ignored in development, but become a major problem in production use. Nobody wanted to repair a journaling file system by hand any more than any other file system. fsck in the sense of "repair half-completed writes" is unnecessary for journaling file systems (or copy-on-write file systems) but it is still necessary in the sense of "check for and repair file system corruption when something unexpected goes wrong." <<
