Well, not exactly. One can use kill -USR1 <PID of dd> to see the current progress report. > > dd if=/dev/sda | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sda bs=16M" & > dd if=/dev/sdb | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdb bs=16M" & > dd if=/dev/sdc | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdc bs=16M" & > dd if=/dev/sdd | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdd bs=16M" & and if shell pipe is used, pv can be really useful, use it like this: dd .... | pv | ssh .... and you'll get a nifty speed report, that corresponds to the rate at which ssh reads from pv's output (~network throughput). IMO pv can be used for local dd use as well, just do: dd if=/dev/sd<source> bs=16M | pv | dd of=/dev/sd<target> bs=16M -- Maciek Borzecki -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
