 I did small investigation and result:

 extN: -a -y

 reaiser: -a -y

 vfat: -a -y

 minix:  -a

 cramfs: I'm going to improve fsck.cramfs to accept -a and -y

 xfs: fsck.xfs is dummy shell script, does nothing, accepts everything:-)

 btrfs: has --repair, it seems like synonym for -a (I'll ask for more
        details at btrfs lists)

 ntfs (-3g): does not support options at all
