So, how can I run fsck on that file system?

I have tried to mount /home/vm/vm01.img - but it fails:

# mount -o loop /home/vm/vm01.img /mnt/vm01/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Am I missing something? It seems like people like making things more complicated than they are. What's stopping you from doing an fsck from the console within the DomU just like if it were a real machine? It dropped you to a shell so just run fsck on it manually.
