ext3fs problem

[Man-wai Chang]

ok, linux experts. I got a question.

when my linux shutdown abnormally (owning to sudden loss of electricity 
in my apartment), the linux would always produce a login prompt on the 
first boot-up after the power failure. I had to key in the root 
password, run `fsck`, `poweroff -n`, and CTRL-ALT-DEL.

However, when the ext3 partitions were mounted, it would say soemting 
like "error would be corrected on next remount".

What's happening? What should I do to avoid that problem?
