Usually when there are any problems, such as an unclean shutdown because 
of power loss, there are inode corrections. It looks like your 
filesystem checked clean.

You can read the documentation on the system with man or info or do a 
search on e2fsprogs which contain the packages used to maintain the ext2 
and ext3 filesystems.
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
