If a disk was busy, Disk Utility could prompt the user and ask if the file system should be scheduled for a check on the next reboot. I have just found out about the special file "/forcefsck" (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or- boot-sequence/) which forces the file system to be checked on the next reboot, and due to this I think this is a potentially simple implementation. Disk Utility would just have to prompt and create that file.
