[linux-lvm] serializing fsck

[zoo1]

(is Ted Ts'o reading this list, by any chance?)

it seems my fsck on bootup is having trouble figuring out on which
physical devices various lvols reside, and so is starting up all the
fsck's simultaneously. i'm working around this by fiddling with the fsck
parameters in /etc/fstab, and i suspect that's probably the only really
general solution (since striping would throw wrenches into the works
anyway), but i'd like to know if i've overlooked some other possibility?

E2fsck seems to do that on any disk on me. I've ended up adjusting the
order in fstab by hand.
