Bug Description
User "entertainment" is crucially important for operations that take more than a minute or two. The "Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information" phase of mkfs can take multiple tens of minutes. That is way, way, way too long to wait to know if it has not completely hung. An estimating time to completion would be wonderful, but even the spinning slash (- \ | / - ...) would be better than nothing at all. Thank you.
