I would like to discuss the addition of some sort of progress bar in dd. When I'm low-level formatting hard drives with:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=10M conv=notrunc It'd be nice to know the progress of the operation. The same goes for cloning hard drives. Is it possible for dd to know the size of the hard drive and calculate its progress? -- Brett Alton http://brettalton.com [email protected] _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
