 I have not checked the code to be sure, but from general usage I have
 noticed that fsck(8) doesn't actually try to detect, or 'taste' the
 partition, but only looks at /etc/fstab and if the type is not
 specified, then returns the error.
 
 Suggesting that it 'attempts to detect' may give the wrong impression.
 Someone would have to look at the source of fsck(8) to be sure.
