LVM is not a file system, just a logical volume manager (hence the initials), which
provides logical volumes upon which a file system is written. So you’d run the traditional
fsck program once the volumes have been assembled.
Yes, I know what LVM is, although I don't use it. In any case, you
can't run fsck when the volume is mounted, and as that LVM contains
root, the best bet is to boot from a LiveUSB and then run fsck.
