Sometimes it's better to have 20 minutes (or how long it takes to do the
bg-fsck on your FS) degraded performance, than no performance at all
(you can have this too, just configure the system to make an fg-fsck
instead of a bg-fsck)... (how long does it take to check the journal and
to do some appropriate actions depending on the journal?)

There's no guarantee with a journaled fs, that the data before the crash
is on the disk. A journaled fs is in the same boat with SO here.
