It could have all sorts of files open, file control/directory blocks

unlike 95/98 FAT where it would insist on doing a scandisk sort of
thing on powerup if it thought the powerdown wasn't proper.

BOTH file system types get checked on bad shutdowns, and it has NOTHING
to do with the file system. It has EVERYTHING to do with Windows' OS
procedurals.

Lots of other OS's did this.

Journaling file systems DO check themselves independently of the OS
they run under. The support for them by the OS means that such routines
are built in. A bad shutdown makes a call to the checking routine upon
restart.

Yes, but a correctly designed journaling file system doesn't need to check
every damn cluster when incorrectly shut down.


That's the whole idea behind the journal, dufus.
