Reiser is Journaling file system. This means is logs everything it does
(removing files, creating,...) If the system crashed Reiser looks at this logs
and then it knows what was not finished (what it is inconsistent on this fs)
and it can fix it. So it has no need to check the filesystem because it already
knows what's wrong
ext2 doesn't have these logs so it needs to check the whole filesystem to check
if it is inconsistent...
