Why do you need to check them on the command line?  I guess it is
because checking everything in fstab would fall over on mounted or
unwanted partitions.

fsck -p is only documented as working with no filesystem args.  It's
not clear how it could work properly from the command line, since
there is no way to give the passno info on the command line.
