Hi all, so what mkfs progress format would you prefer? For now we have Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100% progress and the same can be done for bitmap initializing. Do you want us to unite them into one progress bar? It seems that mkreiserfs is not a problem here as it takes ~5-10secs on 1Tb partition, however we will gladly make these changes to satisfy your requirements. -- Thanks, Vitaly Fertman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
