ACK. Another option might be to debootstrap wheezy into a local
directory and chroot into that. You probably don't need
mkfs/fsck/tune2fs on a daily basis. Just disable automatic fscks on boot
(tune2fs -i0 -c0) to make sure the old fsck doesn't touch the
filesystem.
I am not sure whether that would work for the root filesystem, but I
guess nobody needs or wants 16TB for that.
And if this was a critical system, I would probably try very hard to
avoid the situation altogether (split the data across multiple
filesystems) or use another distribution with more recent tools.
