External USB Drives on OS6 - How to run filesystem check.

Hi all,

 

On OS6, I have noticed that when attaching an external drive (this one came from a 4.2 OS so is ext4) there is no option to run a file system check. On 4.2 you could click check filesystem.

 

Is there no way to do this on OS6? If not why was it removed?

 

I know that I can run fsck from the CLI but i'd rather do it from the GUI.

 

Thanks...

    Perhaps another suggestion for the exchange.

     

    One OS4 idea that I liked was the ability to send a WoL packet before a backup job started.  I wish that one was put back.
