run the following command:
# e2fsk -ck <device-name>

It should be noted that just about every filesystem that works with linux has it's own fsck system. For instance, there is one for the minix filesystem, the cramfs filesystem, and even ones for MSDOS, NFS, and VFAT.
If you are going for other journaling filesystems, then I am sure it will still work. I know that XFS also has this sort of checking software (xfsprogs is the debian package)
