I try to repair an HDD disk. However, because it has problems, it gets two slow (5TB). I have calculated that it needs 1-2 days to repair the journal alone.
`sudo /usr/sbin/e2fsck -y -f -C 0 -t -t /dev/sdd1`. Even `-C 0 and -t -t` options do not print anything in terminal. The only line that it is printed is
"HDD_mine: recovering journal".

Because I have saved all HDD blocks information in a file before, ONLY when I turnoff the disk from usb hub while e2fsck is running, e2fsck prints the blocks that have read problems, otherwise not.
I think that you can output an information of type "reading block 1 from 1000", "reading block 10 from 1000" etc. Otherwise, I cannot know if e2fsck is hanging or is working and how much time may need. I am forced to turn off the disk off in order to calculate the progress.
