Hm, but there should be no regular boot-time fsck unless you have your 
forced-fsck interval set pretty low; a normal boot-time fsck will simply 
replay the log.  Was that it; did you just happen to catch this on the 
21st boot or whatever the interval may be?

Otherwise, the fs was flagged with errors, and -that- forced the full 
fsck at boot time, and hopefully something previous was logged somewhere ...
