fsck freezing console

[Александр]

1. After some operations, the program does not respond and does not allow you to exit back to the console.
2. Expected that the program or report the current state, or let go of it.
3. Started
root@ubuntu:~# fsck.ext4 -fyc /dev/sdb1
After some time, the program froze the console.

You asked e2fsck to run badblocks ( -c ), which takes a very, very long time.
