This turned out to be a problem with fscking LVM snapshots of live
ext3 filesystems.  They would occasionally fail to fsck due to being
in an inconsistent state (because the snapshot is of the block dev,
the filesystem metadata isn't necessarily synched on snapshot).  With
other filesystems, e.g. block devices, we can't be sure they aren't
already mounted somewhere else, where fsck would be dangerous (though
fsck should pick that up).

I will do.  I'll probably add a FSCK=true option to
/etc/schroot/script-defaults to allow the behaviour to be customised.

Thanks!
