I rebooted a system and a directory didn't mount up so I ran fsck on it and then it mounted fine.

What causes the dirty inodes and bad superblocks??
 
If a filesystem is not unmounted cleanly, the superblock is not marked as being clean, at which point when it comes to mount at boot, the superblock is not marked as clean and it performs an fsck
