Eeek! Time to be careful. On Solaris/SunOS, the format command is the disk slicing tool mainly. You can destroy the system pretty easily with it, as I know to my cost
The analyze tests you have found shoud be okay to run and they will look for dodgy disk blocks and perhas will flush something out, but they will really hurt performance whilst you run them. I'm not sure if you have to have all the filesystems on those disks unmounted first. It's been such a long time
Just because I'm paranoid, make sure you get a good backup before you start, then read that manual pages several times to be sure.

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) gnome-disk-utility GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) NAME
gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images SYNOPSIS
gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...] DESCRIPTION
gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented. Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc. By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this. RETURN VALUE
gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure. AUTHOR
