          fsck is used to check and optionally repair one or more filesystems.

          tune2fs allows the system administrator to adjust various tunable
          filesystem parameters on Linux ext2/ext3 filesystems.

e2fsck is no longer provided by busybox. This is intended: I think that if you do need to repair a filesystem, you'd better use the tool directly from FS developers.
