If you do
dd if=somebigfile | dd count=100 of=/dev/null
both dd's should report that they copied 100 records. This worked in
debian sarge. Debian Etch, the first dd stopped reporting the number
of records copied. The script I wrote then stopped working.
(The above is an example, my script of course used something else
than "dd count=100" to limit the size copied.)
