i had added a -q flag, which supressed progress as it happened. this sped it up significantly for those with slow (read: serial) terminals. without patching mkreiserfs, there is no way to make it quieter. unless we were to redirect all output to /dev/null, but i am not certain that is the right way to go. i do not believe that the mkreiserfs information is significantly out of characteristic with the other (ext2/ext3) mkfs programs. -john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
