Bug#201191: partconf: mkfs should indicate progress
A quick test indicates that most interesting mkfs-variations (ext2, ext3,
reiserfs; vfat and jfs are so quick it doesn't need progress, and xfs seems
only a bit slower than that) has at least some kind of progress output, so we
_could_ theoretically grok that. It will be ugly, though...
libparted1.6 supports ext2, ext3, vfat and reiserfs, but no jfs or xfs. One
_could_ use libparted for the first four and fall back to mkfs.* for
everything else; that would be a definitive improvement for 95% of our users
(as I said, jfs and xfs seem fast already). More code that could go wrong,
though...
This should really be fixed for beta 2. :-)
