Might it be hidden behind USE="tools"?
This is correct.
$ equery uses e2fsprogs
...
+ + tools : Build extfs tools (mke2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs, etc.)
Make sure you have the 'tools' USE flag enabled for e2fsprogs
and it should be available in /sbin/
Yes : sometime ago the 'tools' flag must have been introduced
& since I don't format devices often, it didn't trip me up till now.
I've updated my notes.
I formatted the stick, copied the files it had before the damage,
then discovered that it was in fact physically bad,
so 'mke2fs' wasn't needed today. I used another formatted stick instead.
Thanx to both + Jack as well.
