Same thing happened with me, and I wondered for a moment, and then I
realised something - I hadn't unmounted and then remounted as ext3 the
partitions I'd added ext3 to, so they were still ext2 until the death by
1 billion thrashes. As a result, there was no journal data to be
applied, but there was plenty of ext2 space for potential inconsistency
due to the way the system was stopped.
