I didn't mean to imply that they did not make use of it, just that IME, and seemingly of others, it doesn't seem to be necessary, or can even cause more problems than simply letting the FS recover the journal by itself. Unless I am minsunderstanding you, and fsck is used *in the recovery of the journal*? I am also assuming that the 'file system integrity check' offered during the boot process is the same thing as 'fsck'.
