Subject: Automatic fsck behavior

Hi,

Had some questions about automatic boot-time fsck, following a power-loss or
hard-shutdown, etc.
All prior research (web searching, etc) on this has been inconclusive.

1) Does it do a real fsck or only a journal playback?

2) If it's a real fsck, is it done in repair mode or diagnostic mode?

Also, do the answers depend/vary according to ext4 version or anything else?

Thank you
