Mistaken partition and format process

[hce <webmail.hce@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am partitioning and formating an external HDD. I made a stupid
mistake, I called "mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0" before calling "fdisk
/dev/md0". Now it seems that the process stopped at following last
line "Writing inode tables:   14/1864":

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
30539776 inodes, 61049134 blocks
3052456 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=0
1864 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
        4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872

Writing inode tables:   14/1864

What should I do now? Will I abort the process it by Ctr-C damange the HDD?

Thank you.

Jim
