well, ext[34]a are special little snowflakes.  ;)

Since forever, we've called fsck on boot, and e2fsck replays the log in 
userspace if needed.  If the fs isn't marked as having encountered an error 
during the previous mount (or, historically, having had too many mounts or too 
much time since last fsck), then nothing else happens.

It shouldn't take a whole ton of time, but could, depending on whether the log 
was dirty, then the size of the log and speed of the disk I suppose.

When it took 4s above, was that a from a clean reboot (i.e. was the journal 
dirty?)
