First, the man page says to give a decent estimate
capacity with the "-e" switch. In that case, it
runs about 4-6 hours. Without that estimate, it could
run for days...
What do you mean with "hang"? What where the symptoms?
Could you open another terminal? Did "kill -9" do nothing?
If it really hangs, it's not normal, and, from my experience
this is usually a hardware problem (or a kernel bug, but then
why should you the first one to encounter this?)
