It depends. I don't expect it to be more than 30 sec in the worst
case. If the delay you observed is longer then maybe you discovered
some bug? If this happens again, please send me the output of the
command "ps" as well as the contents of the file /var/log/partman.

OK.

Does this mean it is better to use external tool rather than parted to
format reiserfs?
Actualy I have observed parted to fail to format even ext2. That's
why now partman tries to use mkfs.ext2 if parted fails to format a
partition.
