Since the email address is not per-filesystem, it's fine by me to put it
into a config file somewhere. Forcing the interval to be global is
probably also OK, although I wouldn't want to be forced to set the
snapshot size globally. I do think that fstab is the best place for
per-filesystem options, though.
But it's not too difficult to parse out a custom SNAPSIZE option, and
even have a DEFAULT_SNAPSIZE in the config file if no SNAPSIZE option is
present on any LV, if the script is going to parse fstab anyway. (Or
should the option's name be lowercase? Either will work.)

That does seem reasonable, but I haven't done it in the script that's
attached. Maybe support for a SKIP (or skip, or e2check_skip, or
skip_e2check, or whatever) option in fstab's options field?
Regarding the idea of having this support multiple filesystems -- that's
a good idea, I think, but the current script is highly specific to ext2
or ext3. Use of tune2fs (to reset the last-check time) and dumpe2fs (to
find the last-check time), in particular, will be problematic on other
FSes. I haven't done that in this script, though it may be possible.
Anyway, here's a second version. I've changed it to parse up fstab,
and added an option for what to do if AC status can't be determined.
Kernel-style changelog entry, etc., below:
- -------
Create a script to transparently run e2fsck in the background on any LVM
logical volumes listed in /etc/fstab, as long as the machine is on AC
power, and that LV has been last checked more than a configurable number
of days ago. Also create a configuration file to set various options in
the script.

# e2check
# Released under the GNU General Public License, either version 2 or
# (at your option) any later version.
# Overview:
#
# Run this from cron each night. If the machine is on AC power, it
# will run the checks; otherwise they will all be skipped. (If the
# script can't tell whether the machine is on AC power, a setting in
# the configuration file (/etc/e2check.conf) decides whether it will
# continue or abort.)
#
# The script will then decide which filesystems in /etc/fstab are on
# logical volumes, and can therefore be checked via an LVM snapshot.
# Each of these filesystems will be queried to find its last check
# day, and if that was more than $INTERVAL days ago (where INTERVAL
# is set in the configuration file as well), then the script will
# take an LVM snapshot of the filesystem and run e2fsck on the
# snapshot. The snapshot's size can be set via either the SNAPSIZE
# option in the options field in /etc/fstab, or the DEFAULT_SNAPSIZE
# option in /etc/e2check.conf -- but make sure it's set large enough.
# After e2fsck finishes, the snapshot is destroyed.
#
# Any filesystem that passes e2fsck will have its last-check time
# updated (in the real superblock, not the snapshot); any filesystem
# that fails will send an email notification to a configurable user
# ($EMAIL). This $EMAIL setting is optional, but its use is highly
# recommended, since if any filesystem fails, it will need to be
# checked manually offline.
