Found this on Gentoo site. they were refering to the -f flag,

# fsck.ext3 -fcyv /dev/hda1

But I have now idea what your drive id is. The is in reference to a ext3 partition. Yours is e2 .

e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hdb1
/dev/hdb1:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Just read if you had a drive failure you will get this error too.
