Tip: if you have already launched fsck you can recover the progress 
bar sending SIGUSR1 signal, see this behavior in action:

 Greetings,

 I'm running CentOS 5.x on one ancient but reasonably reliable machine:

 I am running some fsck's on some of the larger drives (750GB and 2TB) that
 are used for backups. There is a verbosity flag (-V); but because of the
 size of the drives along with slowness of the processor, the process is
 taking a long time.

 And there is no indication how much of the process has been completed
 (nothing like a %tage indicator), at least the way that I am running it.

 Is this expected, or is there some way of amping up the feedback?

-C gives you nice warm fuzzies, something for you to watch as you fall
asleep (it takes a *long* bloody while for big drives, he says from
experience.)

Yes, I see. Thanks; and it is buried in the man page.
