Ouch... that's a case of a read-write-verify with small blocks over
USB showing just how slow USB really is, I think. Parted does things
the safest way it can, and verifies things every step of the way, and
I've even had it take several hours to transition a third or so as
much data on an internal sata disk. Add in the limitations on speed of
a USB bus and... well, 23hrs sounds about right to me...
