How about:
yes | gfs_fsck
assuming that gfs_fsck reads from the STDIN filehandle, not just from
the tty.

Just guessing here...probably because there are multiple bitmaps that need
fixing...as each on is fixed, the prompt shows the next one.

Interesting... Given the importance of *fsck, I'd hope that any character that
is no "y" is taken as "n".

Huh? Under CentOS 5.3:
man fsck
[SNIP!]
Options to different filesystem-specific fsck's are not standardized. If in
doubt,
please consult the man pages of the filesystem-specific checker.
Although not
guaranteed, the following options are supported by most file system checkers:
-a Automatically repair the file system without any questions (use this
option
[SNIP!]
-y For some filesystem-specific checkers, the -y option will cause the
fs-spe-
cific fsck to always attempt to fix any detected filesystem corruption
auto-
matically. Sometimes an expert may be able to do better driving the
fsck
manually. Note that not all filesystem-specific checkers implement
this
option. In particular fsck.minix(8) and fsck.cramfs(8) does not
support the
-y option as of this writing.
[SNIP!]
In fact, almost every fsck I've known & loved (SunOS, Solaris, HPUX, Linux)
supports "-y".
