Hi,the final output of 'dd' is in "SI mode" (or how to call it). It uses 10^6 instead of 2^20 for "megabyte".
Example: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=65536 count=4096 4096+0 records in 4096+0 records out 268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 0.0248346 s, 10.8 GB/s $ Is there a switch to display in "traditional" units, I'd like to have 268435456 bytes (256 MB) copied, ... regards, chris
