When you pressed Y, what you told the computer is:

"I don't care that you are using a journalized filesystem like ext3, I
want you to do a full blown filesystem check as if you were ext2."

So what you really did is not let the journal do it's thing.  Just let
that prompt go through the 5 second timeout and let the journal take
care of any ambiguities that happened during bootup.
