    GUI app for disk scanning

    Hi guys,

    Is there any GUI for hard disk scanning similar to M$ Windows?

    P.S. IFW fsck is the alternative but it's CLI app.

    Gparted has this functionality. Right click on the filesystem you want to check and click Check​.

    You can only run fsck on unmounted partitions. So if another drive it will work, but if your system drive you need to run from Live installer.

    Even Windows only sets a chkdsk flag so it runs chkdsk on next reboot before file system is mounted.
