What's the disk light doing?

There weren't any blinking lights... After about 20 minutes I got a page to choose the partitioning, did that, pressed ok, that window didn't clear, but nothing was responsive. Waited 5 minutes and left it to check again tomorrow.

It seems like progress bars are only eye candy these days. Because they are in a loop and running smoothly all the time, and not indicating any sort of percentage done, I'm left wondering if the system is doing anything at all (besides updating the eye candy). Wouldn't some sort of text output along with a timestamp be better, so I could step away and come back and see if the state has changed at all? Especially on a server? Don't system admins want output?
