The point is: on some android devices, especially the T1, there will NEVER be fsck done, regardless of the sanity state of the filesystems!

This is because:

1.) There are no fsck binaries for ext2/3/4 installed
2.) There are no fsck calls in init.rc

So, dmesg says something like
Code:
<4>EXT4-fs (mmcblk2p10): warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
