Just running into the same issue here with a new CentOS 6.3 installation for use with GlusterFS. We compiled a e2fsprogs 1.42.7 from git (installed to /usr/local/*) but our problem is that fsck searches /sbin statically on boot, before it searches the $PATH.

For now we’ve left our file system as ’0′ in fstab (ie, don’t fsck), but that’s obviously a terrible solution…

What did you do to get around this?

[root@hscaler-cn001 misc]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 916G 57G 813G 7% /
none 16G 4.0K 16G 1% /dev/shm
master:/cm/shared 228G 39G 178G 18% /cm/shared
master:/home 228G 39G 178G 18% /home
/dev/mapper/cn018_1 22T 109M 21T 1% /data/0

I have my 22TB FS using ext4
[root@hscaler-cn001 misc]# mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
none on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
master:/cm/shared on /cm/shared type nfs (rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,nfsvers=3,addr=10.141.255.254)
master:/home on /home type nfs (rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,nfsvers=3,addr=10.141.255.254)

Thanks for great post
