[linux-lvm] e2fsck on logical volume?

[Patrick Boutilier]

All you should have to do is unmount the ext2 filesystem in question and then
run e2fsck on it. The filesystem level is above the LV level so there should be
no problem there. Unless I am missing something LVM should not interfere with
or care about the filesystem running on top of it.
