Yann Morin has already told you that you are trying to run e2fsck on a
tarball. A tarball is not an ext2 image, so obviously it cannot work.

What you're doing is exactly as if your trying to run an image
verification program on a text document. It doesn't work because it
makes no sense to try it in the first place.

Regards,

Thomas
