If you crash, or otherwise don't unmount cleanly, when it comes time to remount, no data is lost, the journal gets replayed, and things pick up from there. You only need to do a preventative fsck every so often, but the FS is pretty good about getting the kernel to do that for it automagically as needed. Plus, you can use all the same tools on ext3 filesystems as you do ext2 ones (as long as they're from more recent versions that support journals, all current Debians are recent enough to have them). I've had crashes jumble ext2 filesystems pretty badly in the past. When in doubt, go ext3. - -- .''`.
