This is wrong.

	lvs --name-prefixes -o vg_name,lv_path \
			-S lv_active=active,lv_role=public --noheadings | \

lv_role=public does not exclude snapshots and so it will fail later in
e2scrub when you try to create a snapshot of a thicksnapshot which is
not supported.

Snapshot of a thinspanshot is allowed though, so we might want to
include those. Not sure if it's wise to do it by default, but regardless
it's probably something for a separate change.

Also I am not sure what's the rush, but it seems you've ignored my other
suggestions.
