I started e4defrag against /dev/md3 on Jul 31 in a screen session, and
it's still running. I've got a few things coming up shortly that are
gonna require me to reboot this machine, but I'm not sure if its 'ok'
to CTRL-C the e4defrag window or not. Advice? Also, how can I tell
what it's currently working on? I passed the '-v' switch but I've not
seen any progress indicators in the screen session.
Thanks.

Obsessively opposed to the typical.

It works fine here and it even outputs progress when not started with -v :)
I _think_ it's still reading the informations of your file system in when
it's not showing any progress.
And yes, there is little chance that you will break something in Ctrl-C
as all dangerous operations are atomic to user space. But don't sue me if I'm
wrong :)
