Hi Shafi,
First : stop Indexing with stopping all SharePoint Search Services in the Management Console.
Second: stop the crawler in the Central Administration
Third: Resize your disks to have at least enough space to drop your indexes. You should have at least 25% free space of the full content database size when performing a full crawl.
Restart your full crawl.
Regards

Can you provide an estimate of the number of items and size of the content you are crawling? What does your farm topology look like?Friday, August 24, 2012 8:10 PM

Size of the content database is 500 GB. Full crawl is scheduled for weekly and it takes 3 to 4 hour to complete normally. But now its taking 30 hour, Please see below screenshot.

HI,
Check your crawl index if it is updating or not.
Also to stop this restart the service Office Sharepoint Service Search.
