I began formatting a 1Tb FAT USB into LUKS format using the full format method with the Disks app. It’s taken a little over 12 hours. The little spinner in the app, next to the drive in question has not stopped spinning. It had about 2.3GB of files that I wanted overwritten. Is this taking too long…? Is there a way to check the actual progress, other than the endless spinning spinner? Should I risk unplugging the drive and trying again?

Normally, you need to specify the application tag while creating a new topic in GNOME discourse, so the interested audience of the app ( including the app maintainer(s) ) will be notified of your topic. But, in this case there doesn’t seem to be a tag for GNOME Disks app.
