[webmin-l] Taking forever creating a 4T partition

[Craig W. <cra...@az...>]

I was tired and lazy last night but I wanted to create a partition on a
newly added 4TB RAID array so I used Webmin instead of CLI and now, here
it is more than 12 hours later and the cursor is still spinning and a
grep of ps shows that the process is still running...

root      6793  0.0  0.1  91812  1048 ?        S    Jan29
0:00 /usr/libexec/webmin/fdisk/save_part.cgi
root     24697  0.0  1.0  91852 10428 ?        S    01:17
0:00 /usr/libexec/webmin/fdisk/save_part.cgi
root     31364  0.0  0.0  61192   780 pts/9    S+   12:06   0:00 grep
part

Does it strike anyone as excessive to be 12 hours and still counting
while creating a single 4T partition on a SAS RAID system (dual
processor reasonably fast system running CentOS 5.6 x86_64)? Should I
just kill off the process and do it via CLI?
