Have you tried the package from backports? That will save yourself alot of grief. http://pkg-lustre.alioth.debian.org/backports/ldiskfsprogs-1.41.10/ I suspect your problem is that the e2fsprogs build process will try and install binaries into /usr/sbin. Unfortunately debian/ubuntu expects most of the e2fsprogs binaries to be in /sbin. On debian, that causes the system boot scripts to fail to find fsck.extX and findfs, which results in the init scripts not being able to find the root filesystem, or deciding that the filesystem is catastrophically broken. (Yes, I did find that out the hard way...)
