Maybe I'm dense here, but the Util-Linux doesn't have a fsck.ext2 or fsck.ext3
in it's list of programs installed. Which module installs an fsck capable of
ext2/3 filesystems?
When I built Util-linux I didn't get a fsck.ext2 or ext3. I only saw those if
I left the --disable-fsck off the e2fsprogs configure.
Many thanks here,
Mike

That appears to be left over from earlier versions. The comment in the
e2fsprogs text is correct:
"--disable-*
This prevents E2fsprogs from building and installing the libuuid and
libblkid libraries, the uuidd daemon, and the fsck wrapper, as Util-Linux
installed all of them earlier."
