[meta-freescale] mkfs application takes a long time

[Niklas Molin]

Hi.

I'm running a linux-imx (kernel 3.10) on a Sabre SD board.
I compiled e2fsprogs package on my ARM and installed it. So far everything
is well.
After that I tried to format the 8GB flash (mkfs.ext3) and it takes around
3-4 hours to do this, which seems to be way too long.
Has anyone tried this on the Sabre SD board?
Does anyone have a clue why it takes so long time to format the flash?

Thanks,
Niklas
