I found this script on my brand new Vampire SA and started it. I left it running over night and it's still not finished... Is it expected to work? How long should it normally take?

It shouldn't require more than a few seconds. Depending on the version of ApolloOS you're running, the script may, or may not be viable.. At least that's my recollection.

Thanks for the info. I let it run for about 20 hours before trying to reboot. White it was doing whatever it did, the green LED was constantly lit. After reboot it asked me to insert a bootable IDE drive... Fortunately cycling the power fixed that. Will try running the commands manually to see where it breaks.

Sounds like it was stuck somehow. The large partitions use PFS/3 for their file system. Format will take a few seconds. More on larger ones, but not that much longer.

This stopped working on my r6 core r6os but I have just tried it on r7 and r7 os and it works fine
