Re: slow down dd - how?
http://zakalwe.fi/~shd/foss/pmr/ is there a pmr-like solution under debian, from the repositories? How can I slow down dd? I don't want to slow down the pc, when generating a big file [~40 GByte]. Does ionice work properly? Thank you for any help! :\ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

That page lists 3 Other tools. 2 of those are packaged for Debian. Pipe Viwer http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml is in the pv package http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pv.html. mbuffer http://www.maier- komor.de/mbuffer.html is in the mbuffer package http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mbuffer.html.

If ionice is not enough for you, the pv utility works similarly to dd, but has support for a speed limit. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
