How do you get e2fsck to show progress information?

Is there a way to check the progress of fsck.ext3 under Ubuntu, if I'm logged in remotely?

Obviously the time taken depends on a lot of factors, but if fsck has to option of displaying a progress bar, it should be possible

Clarification: The fsck process has already been started in another terminal (at startup), and I need to view the progress from remote machine. Running fsck with the -C flag is therefore not the answer. I was hoping for a log file that I could look at (/var/log/fsck/* are empty).

Try fsck -C, it displays progress on every step of checking (but not the total one)
