English Amiga Board - View Single Post - A1200 huge hard drive, long pause, HD light on

I have a 4GB CF card in an A1200. It seems to be working OK but just now when I tried to copy something in to the 3.8G "Work" partition for the first time the system froze with the timer icon replacing the regular pointer and the HD light is staying on.

Is this the OS doing a first-time validation of the new partition? How long should it take?
