Public bug reported:

Using an external USB drive with ext3 filesystem. After awhile it won't
mount, so I check dmesg and see that it's complaining of excessive
mounts without a filesystem check. (I already filed Bug #134425 saying I
wish Gnome would report filesystem errors.)

I tried to use gparted to fsck the drive. If you umount the partition
from gparted, Gnome remounts it (Bug #133806) so you have to umount from
Gnome.

HOWEVER, gparted is unable to fsck the partition -- after complaining
that the e2fsck cannot check a mounted filesystem, gparted crashes with
a segfault.

This MAY be purely Bug #133806, but I hadn't before seen a mention of
the segfault.
