[plug] Ext3, and fsck auto-checks

[Bill Kenworthy]

I would leave it alone.  I was going to turn it off on my laptop, when
it picked up errors and dropped to a console during a check.  The
original idea was to turn the journaling off when I need maximum battery
life so I could sleep the disk, but havent gotten around to setting it
up yet.  I had reiserfs on a previous laptop and it survived all the
abuse with no problems so I still prefer reiserfs (though nfs related
probs seem to be rising again) - I still feel my data is safer with
reiserfs.
