I just reformatted a new 1TB USB 3.0 backup drive to

I mounted the drive the first time.
Anyone know how long it is likely to be initializing
the tables? It has been running for about 20 minutes
already.

I would estimate the init would take 1-2 hours.
Beware of placing a large number in your ext3/ext4 partition. We made one with millions of them - and it took us on the order of 10 hours to fsck it. We could not afford that so we switched to xfs.
