but i was
wondering why cmp would just work. it occurred to me that
i could run the dds in parallel with a command like this
cmp {dd -if data -bs 64k -count 2} {dd -if ../sda1/data -bs 64k
-count 2}
Cmp was actually my
dd -if /dev/sdE0/data -of /dev/sdF0/data -bs 1048576
i was thinking about your technique, and it occured to me
that this command is equvalent to
for(;;)
read(E0, buf, 1mb)
write(F0, buf, 1mb)
but if you wrote it like this
dd -if data -bs 64k -count
