In addition to this, you might also want to take a look at "e-file", which comes from the package "app-portage/pfl" in order to find parent packages of binary files:

That's funny. I forgot from which package the binary file "e-file" came from, so I used "e-file" to determine its origin. :D

Might it be hidden behind USE="tools"?
This is correct.

$ equery uses e2fsprogs

Philip, make sure you have the 'tools' USE flag enabled for e2fsprogs
and it should be available in /sbin/
