imageinfo takes forever

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm a newbie. i wanna know my suggested profiles of the mem dump and i wrote 
"python vol.py imageinfo -f /path/dumpfile.raw". but it scans too long.. about 
3-4 hours and nothing happened. Size of the dumped memory is 3.4gb6. 
Is there anyway to reduce a memory dump file? or should i wait?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
i use kali linux on virtual machine.

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry for my poor english.

Hi there,

Please file your issue on 
https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility/issues

Also be aware that imageinfo works by trying every possible profile against the 
image, which on a 3.4 Gb drive, will take a long time (particular given how 
many profiles are now supported).

Marking as a duplicate of 521.
