Title:
Enhancement: Prompt to check a busy file system on next reboot
Status in GNOME Disks:
New
Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
When selecting "Check File System" on a file system which is is use,
you currently get an error stating the device is busy.
If a disk was busy, Disk Utility could prompt the user and ask if the
file system should be scheduled for a check on the next reboot.
I have just found out about the special file "/forcefsck"
(http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-
boot-sequence/) which forces the file system to be checked on the next
reboot, and due to this I think this is a potentially simple
implementation. Disk Utility would just have to prompt and create
that file.
