Trouble with lvreduce on Debian 12

I ran into an issue with my root partition being too small. My plan was to reduce the size of my home partition and increase the size of my root partition. Here is what I have done:

First, I rebooted in single user mode.
Then I did the following:
# mount / -rw -o remount 
# amount /home
umount: /home: not mounted.
# fsck -f /dev/mapper/debian --vg-home
fsck from util-linux 2.38.1
e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)

This is where I am stalled. The prompt has not come back and I have been waiting about 10.5 hours. Is it normal for this to take this long? Should I just be patient? Or has something gone wrong? I am not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
