From 7e8a6edb4d1ba0079152eb477abbbc1dfb1ebb7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Reichl Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:21:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mkfs: Break block discard into chunks of 2 GB Some users are not happy about the BLKDISCARD taking too long and at the same time not being informed about that - so they think that the command actually hung. This commit changes code so that progress reporting is possible and also typing the ^C will cancel the ongoing BLKDISCARD. Signed-off-by: Pavel Reichl Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
