regular fsck runs are too disturbing

[Milan]

And how about using ReiserFS by default, or any other journaled
filesystem that doesn't require fsck to run regularly? I'm using
reiser3, and I hadn't noticed that fsck was run by default on startup
until a friend of mine installed Ubuntu with standard settings (i.e.
with ext3).

default file system in Novell <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell>'s
SUSE Linux Enterprise until Novell decided to move to ext3

Why did Novell went back to ext3?
