clip from web: >> Which block size do you think I should > >use to improve the speed? Is bigger better?
Something is odd on efn -- 2 or 3 of my postings never made it (either out or back in), so I am clipping form web archives. clip of 1st lost: ..., one more on the issue of larger block size: it may not only increase speed but is probably easier on the device if you transfer at/above default block size, rather than stuttering along; also the quality of the (analog, magnetic) data may be better if I/O is performed it the device's natural pace (just a careful guess) I'd try bs=1M ...................
