sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.45.1 installs /etc/cron.d/e2scrub_all, which specifies a cronjob that invokes /sbin/e2scrub_all, which requires lvcreate or else prints this message: e2scrub_all: can't find lvcreate --- is lvm2 installed? This output unfortunately triggers cron to email the administrator with this pointless message every day. If sys-fs/lvm2 is not installed (or is installed with USE="device-mapper-only"), then sys-fs/e2fsprogs should not install a cronjob that complains about lvcreate not being installed.
+1 By the way, is there a reason to have 2 slashes before e2scrub_all? 10 3 * * * root test -e /run/systemd/system || //sbin/e2scrub_all -A -r
(In reply to Tomáš Mózes from comment #1) > By the way, is there a reason to have 2 slashes before e2scrub_all? It doesn't hurt, but it's sloppy. I assume it comes from a careless variable substitution of the form "${ROOT}/sbin/e2scrub_all". When ROOT="/", then such substitution produces "//sbin/e2scrub_all". A substitution of this form should be changed to the form "${ROOT%/}/sbin/e2scrub_all" to avoid the double slash.

Simply dropping the trailing slash does the trick. I have a working fix but cannot commit it because of some keyword conflicts...
