Thanks for the responses.
Richard: it takes that long because of the "-c -c" option. As Berend says, it
runs badblocks which "beats up a block at a time" writing/reading patterns...
looking for errors. The man page for mke2fs is helpful.
Berend: THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE! I of course, didn't

Hi,
I have a 2TB HDD with a possibly major problem. I have cleared the data from it
and have tried to run "mke2fs -t ext4 -j /dev/sdc1" but after 24 hours it had
just finished the 0xaa phase and started reading when the drive seemingly
dropped ready and was re-assigned as a new device to /dev/s
