For non-root users mkfs.ext4 and fsck.ext4 are not in the search path at least on Debian. Use /sbin/mkfs.ext4 and /sbin/fsck.ext4 instead.

Why not just set $PATH correctly before running the tests? This change prevents the code from finding mkfs via $PATH, which feels wrong; it assumes all distros install the tool in the same hard-coded location, and prevents anyone from temporarily using a customized version for testing purposes via $PATH. Perhaps the code can find mkfs in $PATH, and only fall back to a hard-coded location if it's not present in $PATH?
