Got the same error:

# lvextend -L +16.8G -r -v /dev/smvg/movies
     Finding volume group smvg
   Rounding up size to full physical extent 16.80 GB
     Executing: fsadm check /dev/smvg/movies (null)
   fsadm: execlp failed: No such file or directory
   fsadm failed: 2

Even without using the -r option.
Workaround for me was to:

Remove package lvm10 (while leaving configuration files)

Then redo:
# lvextend -L +16.8G -v /dev/smvg/movies
     Finding volume group smvg
   Rounding up size to full physical extent 16.80 GB

The lvm10 package got installed while webmin-lvm package was installed. Thought I might try a web based system configuration tool for a change and immediately regretted it :o)


I'm working with Debian "testing", package versions:
lvm-common 1.5.17
lvm10      1-1.0.8-8  (now removed)
lvm2       2.01.04-5
