I've only had one sieze in recent times, what I've had several of recently is sudden complete power cut - possibly a power supply fault. Either way, it has the same effect of discombobulating my hard drive so I have to do a lot of fscking on startup again. Occasionally this completely munges my X setup.
You might consider converting your partitions to ext3. It's quite easy.
# tune2fs -j / # tune2fs -j /home # tune2fs -h /other_partitions_you_want_to_convert
Then edit /etc/fstab and change the "ext2" to "ext3" for each partition on which you enabled a journal and reboot or remount those partitions. The conversion only takes a few tens of seconds for each partition, and you can always "back out" by simply changing your /etc/fstab back to "ext2" and/or remounting as ext2 instead of ext3.
This of course won't completely protect against file system corruption or the running of fsck, but it helps in my opinion.
