In *theory*, the command 'fsck' should check just about any filesystem type.

It searches through /etc/fstab for the filesystem type, and then calls
/sbin/fsck.<fstype> to do the dirty work.

On my system (Debian unstable), I have:

/sbin/fsck.cramfs  /sbin/fsck.ext3   /sbin/fsck.msdos  /sbin/fsck.vfat
/sbin/fsck.ext2    /sbin/fsck.minix  /sbin/fsck.nfs
