Same thing happened with me, and I wondered for a moment, and then I realised something - I hadn't unmounted and then remounted as ext3 the partitions I'd added ext3 to, so they were still ext2 until the death by 1 billion thrashes. As a result, there was no journal data to be applied, but there was plenty of ext2 space for potential inconsistency due to the way the system was stopped. -- Mark L.
