Description 5bentz 2018-01-13 01:34:40 UTC
When checking a btrfs partition, GParted states that it will "check and repair file system (btrfs)" and "check file system for errors and (if possible) fix them".

It misleads the user about thinking it will *repair* the filesystem, whereas the command *btrfs /dev/sdxn* simply check a filesystem without repairing it.

As a side note, *btrfsck* is an alias of the *btrfs check* command and is now deprecated.

Steps to reproduce:
- check an existing btrfs partition (create one if necessary)

Thank you for this awesome tool!

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use gparted and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and currently supported version, then please feel free to report it at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/
by following the guidelines at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented so far (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
