The fsck is required to move the existing directories to the new format. If you ever remount the filesystem as ext2, directories that are written to will be converted back to the old format, so you need rerun the fsck.
+
+If you still get filesystem checks occuring on a crash and you get a message such as =mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2= appearing then you probably are using [Ext3] on the root filesystem and put it in as a [Module]. You need to build it into the [Kernel] or use initrd(4) - the reason this occurs is that it can't get the module before it mounts the filesystem but it can't mount the filesystem as ext3 without the module.
