@mikegray We are currently not forwarding stdout of mksquashfs, so it is running silently in the background. I think we can forward that output through |


Version of Singularity:
3.0.3
Expected behavior
Some progress or update information during the creation of the SIF file.
Actual behavior
During "Creating SIF file..." step, the console does not produce any visible output for the user - but does create the resulting file eventually.
Steps to reproduce behavior
I was executing a few “larger” builds through the build service as I am testing a few things and I keep noticing that output freezes (temporarily) during
INFO: Creating SIF file.... Is it possible to have some type of useful progress during that step? It appears to take awhile but is dependent on maybe the size of the SIF being created? @ikaneshiro mentioned maybe using the progress provided bymksquashfs.
