$ 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.
