Cant run fsck; e2fsck: aborted

Had the same issue. Ran a few times

Create /etc/e2fsck.conf with the following content:

[scratch_files]
directory = /var/cache/e2fsck

Updated e2fsck:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs/v1.43.1/e2fsprogs-1.43.1.tar.gz
tar xzf e2fsprogs-1.43.1.tar.gz
cd e2fsprogs-1.43.1
./configure 
make
cd e2fsck/
./e2fsck

Reran. Same error but I noticed it was completing more with each run. Ran until completion
