Hi,

I would like some feedback on what fsck is doing. How can I tell if it is making progress or just
restore from backup?

i just see
checking stage 1 or something
then nothing

what to do to get some kind of (ascii :)) graphic or other
feedback as to how it is doing? It just sits there.

fsck.ext3 -yv /dev/sda1

the v here is not very verbose :(.

$ man fsck
[snip]
-C [ fd ]
Display completion/progress bars for those
filesystem checkers (currently only for ext2
and ext3) which support them. Fsck will
manage the filesystem checkers so that only
one of them will display a progress bar at a
time. GUI front-ends may specify a file
descriptor fd, in which case the progress
bar information will be sent to that file
descriptor.
