Hi Stewart,

You should be able to do: gfs_fsck -y /dev/your/device and it will
answer 'y' to all the questions.  This is similar to other fscks.
You can also use -n to answer 'no' to all questions.

Hi Stewart,

An "a" (all) answer to the yes/no questions is certainly easy to do.
I've thought about doing it, too, but AFAIK, none of the other fscks
allow this response.  I'll ask around and see if anyone objects.
