This is a really old version of e2fsprogs (over 3 years old).  There are a
lot of bug fixes in e2fsprogs since 1.41.10 was released.  You should use a
newer version from http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/e2fsprogs/latest/
for any new installations.  In most cases, you can just use the compiled
RPMs.

If you want to build your own, you either need to install db4-devel or
disable
lfsck in order to build the Lustre e2fsprogs.  You can't use the unpatched
e2fsprogs because it doesn't support features that Lustre uses in ldiskfs.

Cheers, Andreas
