Title:
  gparted hangs for a long time when dosfsck crashes in background

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was resizing a DOS partition. Gparted runs dosfsck prior to the
  resizing. For some reason dosfsck crashed. Gparted did not detect this
  - the GUI was frozen (would redraw, but no button could be pressed).
  Eventually, after a long time the GUI has reached some timeout and
  informed me something is wrong.

  I think gparted should detect the crash of the fsck immediatelly and
  not wait for a timeout.

  Ubuntu 11.10
  gparted 0.8.1-1ubuntu4

  In the console I see:
  $ sudo gparted /dev/sdc
  [sudo] password for ...
