That's what I did here, at least for now. There's a place in here where
the available space in the VG can be checked, but I'm not sure how to
get that value out of lvs (or vgs) in a format that's easy to parse, so
I skipped it for now as well. (I could only get values like "250m",
which I assume means 250 megs, but how is the script supposed to handle
the suffixes?)

Turns out that will *not* work. fsck.* without -f will succeed even if
it doesn't check anything (or at least, e2fsck will). So every day, the
last-check day will get bumped, even though nothing actually got
checked. That defeats the purpose here.
I've split out the operations of checking the FS, setting the last-check
time to now, setting the last-check time to some time in the ancient
past (if the check fails -- this forces the next-reboot check to be a
full one), and getting the last-check time, into their own functions.
Each one takes a device name and filesystem type argument, and splits
execution paths depending on the FS type. Adding support for a new FS
(e.g. better support for reiser) should be as easy as modifying the case
statements in four functions.

Well, it was set up. I seem to have somehow nuked the md-raid layer, so
the LVM stuff isn't available anymore. (It involved a qemu bug (the VM
was running, and suddenly died); then when starting it back up, the
md-raid code started a "background rebuild", and ended up locking up
qemu. I'll probably have to start over with a new set of image files.)

I'm running /lib/udev/vol_id here to get the FS type. I'm not sure if
that's the best solution or not, but it does work (at least for now).
Anyway, I've also renamed the script from e2check to lvcheck (since it
works for more than ext* now). Same changelog entry as before, though.

# lvcheck
# 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/lvcheck.conf) decides whether it will
# continue with the checks, or abort.)
#
# The script will then decide which logical volumes are active, and
# can therefore be checked via an LVM snapshot. Each of these LVs
# will be queried to find its last-check day, and if that was more
# than $INTERVAL days ago (where INTERVAL is set in the configuration
# file as well), then the script will take an LVM snapshot of that
# LV and run fsck on the snapshot. The snapshot will be set to use
# all the remaining space in its volume group. After fsck finishes,
# the snapshot is destroyed. (Snapshots are checked serially.)
#
# Any LV that passes fsck will have its last-check time updated (in
# the real superblock, not the snapshot's superblock); any LV whose
# fsck fails will send an email notification to a configurable user
# ($EMAIL). This $EMAIL setting is optional, but its use is highly
# recommended, since if any LV fails, it will need to be checked
# manually, offline.
