Hi Pawel,

Thanks for pointing this out!

I think that's the problem: I had assumed that the journal
replay obviated the need for fsck at all, so when mounting was
refused I went straight to "fsck -y", which does a full-scan and
takes just as long as it used to.  Since sending that message
I've been prompted to check the source and now know (!) that I
still need to  run fsck -p.  I just haven't had any crashes in
the mean-time, to give me an opportunity to try that out.

If you have any clues about the journal full with dump -L issue,
that'd be greatly appreciated.  I'm fairly sure I could generate
a crash if I put the "L" back into my backup scripts...

Cheers,

Andrew
