I usually add a bs=4k or bs=16k or a bs=256k when using dd so the blocksize is larger. That usually makes it quite a bit faster.
I usually use at least bs=1M.
And if you background the dd you can use "vmstat 1" and the bi/bo columns tell you the actual disk io rates, and you can use that to reliably estimate.
A much more friendly disk speed option is "iostat 5" (the 5 is how many seconds between updates).
You can also use "status=progress" as a dd option. Why would you background dd versus using a second terminal tab? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
