Yes, your /etc/fstab has the pass collumn set to '0', which means that the 
fschk is never run on the partition:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

...disc0/part2      /               ext3    defaults,noatime        0 1
...disc0/part5      /var            ext3    defaults,noatime        0 2

here you see they are set to 1 for root and the rest should be set to 2 (see 
manpages for mount for more info).

This was a bug from the early iso's, and is dangerous as I ran into it after 
140 mounts w/o checking... you should have seen the errors I was getting....
