This is in some respects a bug.  It's not getting stuck, it's just
updating the progress based on the number of files copied rather than
the number of bytes copied, which means that it will sit at 8% for a
while while it copies the squashfs.  I plan to fix this today.

It does mount the source image and target disk in /tmp if they're not
already mounted.  Perhaps this is what you were seeing?

Thanks.  Please file any issues you find on the bug tracker as it's
quite difficult to keep track of them when they're posted to a mailing
list.
