Great timing as I recently got hit by the sudden and unwelcome = appearance of /sbin/fsck_ext2fs on my systems. I created = https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249284 = <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249284>; to track = this issue. I believe that 1a) is the sanest and probably easiest to implement, or = maybe we should add an option to fsck to specify additional paths too = look at and update rc scripts to include /usr/local/sbin automatically.
