Well, journaling is not fool proof, but it will usually allow you to recover
with very little difficulty. When fsck runs, it first checks to see if the
filesystem has a journal. If so, it replays it to recover the filesystem.
Then, it checks to seeif a bit has been set in the filesystem which
indicates other errors. If the bit is set, it performs a complete check to
repair any damages.
