I don't see a problem with just emailing it to "root@" by default and giving the user the option to change it to something else. > Also, I could imagine that a user might not want to check all of the > filesystems in fstab. Similarly, a config file which disables checking on some LV if specified seems reasonable. IMHO the main goal is to make things transparent to the user and avoid their annoyance of "e2fsck at boot". Since the e2fsck is on a read-only LV snapshot, there shouldn't be any danger to the filesystems.
