Why not just set $PATH correctly before running the tests? This change
prevents the code from finding mkfs via $PATH, which feels wrong; it
assumes all distros install the tool in the same hard-coded location,
and prevents anyone from temporarily using a customized version for
testing purposes via $PATH. Perhaps the code can find mkfs in $PATH, and
only fall back to a hard-coded location if it's not present in $PATH?
