Then there is a bug somewhere, because something (the shell?) told the user "/mnt/sbin/e2fsck not found" instead of "libsomething version x.y.z not found" or "foo() not found in libsomething".
This is worse than mount telling the user that /dev/hda1 is not a mount point when the wrong filesystem is chosen, and maybe worse than the dd problem reported a month ago.
Any ideas?
