I don't have skills/time to have a look into e2fsprog, but I know that this computer worked perfectly for nearly one year, and then, it has started to fail at boot with this error... So I guess there is a way to avoid this race... Maybe I'll try to track changes in e2fsprog package and downgrade it. The last solution is simply to hack /etc/init.d/checkfs in order to skip this (and f-e only check known disks).
