I'm trying to go back from f2fs to ext4fs because my tf300t has been having a lot of freezing issues and what not on roms that use to be stable. My question is, how long should TWRP 2.8.3.0 take to convert /data back to ext4? I let it run for over 5 minutes and it still going... Any idea how long this process should take?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the answer, I let it run and it took close to 60 minutes but it finally finished. I thought it was a faster process so I was getting worried.
TWRP as of 2.7.0.0 has used what is called a secure erase ...

This is a good thing except for the time it takes ... :good:

Can you add 'SOLVED' to the thread title .....

Thx Josh
