Everything other than fsck.<type> (mkfs.<type>, mount.<type>) is
wrong and invisible for the regular system tools.

The question is if we really need the references to the filesystem
specific fsck man pages (the list of supported filesystems is disto
specific) ... why jfs, why not xfs, etc.

Maybe it would be better to add a note that "description for the
filesystem specific fsck programs is possible to found in
fsck.<type>(8) man pages where <type> is filesystem name".
