At that point you apply the ext3 patches
Journalling doesn't completely negate the need for running fsck from
time to time -- it just ensures the metadata is in what the kernel
thinks is apparently a reasonable state.
If the kernel goes nuts and craps all over the filesystem, or perhaps
if some application does something evil, you will still need to
fsck...
