[ale] Fwd: periodic fsck was Re: [patch] ext2/3: document conditions when reliable operation is possible

[Rev. Johnny Healey]

I believe the reason that you can't fsck a mounted fs is because of the
chance of writes during the fsck.  But when you make a snapshot, it doesn't
get mounted until you explicitely mount it somewhere.

Because fsck runs on unmounted filesystems, I would expect
there to be a need to unmount before making the LVM snapshot.

Do you have a link to Ted Tso's advice so that I can look for
details like this one?
