ETA missing when building KMCP index about kmcp HOT 4 CLOSED

Of course, right after I post this, the ETA is suddenly defined. Guess that it only shows up after a sufficient number of files have been processed? (12 in my case)

Oh, it's strange. It should be updated right after one index file been saved.

BTW, K-mer file processing and index writing are asynchronous. That means while block 11 and 12 being procesing, the index file of block 10 might not finished writing. One possible reason is the disk (NAS?) is to slow for writing big index files.

You can add --dry-run to check the size of each index file before really executing index buiding.

Could be that writing the blocks just took that long (for the first block to finish writing and produce an ETA)?

Yes, that's what I mean. The speed depends on the size of a index file and disk speed.
