I am partitioning and formating an external HDD. I made a stupid

/dev/md0". Now it seems that the process stopped at following last
line "Writing inode tables: 14/1864":
/dev/md0 would be the first raid array. You have an external drive as
part of a raid array? I'm not saying that its not useful, I'm just
clarifying.
Without running fdisk to create a partition, you've attempted to write a
filesystem on the whole device. There shouldn't be a problem with this
so I don't know what the problem is.
