You can use 'fstat -o' on the device file. Jan If the dd is running on a terminal, sending the status signal will cause a little printout. Usually that's a CTRLT, which for console may need to be set first with $ stty status ^T where ^ and T are normal characters. See man stty and also note the kerninfo option.

It should accept SIGINFO (control+G) on most terminals.

Thank you: Re: Watching the prgress of dd if=drive1 of=drive2
I solved the problem with (I believe it was) the first response out of the four or five I got almost immediately. I got four _separate_ completely valid solutions and this has pointed me on some learning paths here. This mailing list is awesome. Thank you.

Isn't it control+T? By default it isn't mapped at all. So use stty status ^t, for example, before starting dd. (Or other commands that do something useful with SIGINFO, like ping or dump.) Kind regards, Hannah.
