If your filesystem is NTFS5, does scan disk run if you don't shut down properly?

I'm curious...what happens when the computer doesn't get properly shut down if you are running NTFS5?

I know that FAT32 it runs scandisk and tries to repair a few errors and hopes that nothing gets broken.

NTFS5 is a Journalling Filesystem I've been told...how does it handle crashes? Not that they are terribly common in Win2000 but I have had one.
 
I've had scandisk run on a few occasions because of crashes, but it only scanned my FAT32 partitions. My NTFS5 partition was excluded.
 
It doesn't have to do a scandisk. all update information is kept in the journal so any pending file transactions are simply completed upon the next reboot.

supposedly...but sometimes scandisk does check my NTFS partition after a crash.
 
So it does properly Journal the transactions?

I wasn't actually sure if NTFS was a Journaling FS, I'd heard it somewhere but I wasn't 100% sure.
