mkfs: Break block discard into chunks of 2 GB
Some users are not happy about the BLKDISCARD taking too long and at the same time not being informed about that - so they think that the command actually hung. This commit changes code so that progress reporting is possible and also typing the ^C will cancel the ongoing BLKDISCARD. Signed-off-by: Pavel Reichl <preichl@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
