The filesystem is clean. The problem is that sometimes fsck can't find
the partition to fsck it. I'm thinking that the /dev/.tmp-253-2 is what
the partition is called at the early stage in the boot process when fsck
is run. Once the system is up it's /dev/dm-2. The '253-2' comes from
the block device associated with the logical volume:
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/vg00/lv02
VG Name vg00
LV UUID 71dI2E-PW8J-imIe-P22K-xRPZ-iyzv-845aPD
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
# open 1
LV Size 6.84 GB
Current LE 1750
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors 0
Block device 253:2
