You can impose a transfer rate limit by piping through the "pv -r" command,
which also gives you a nice progress bar.

slow down dd - how?

2010-07-08 Thread Jozsi Avadkan
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! :\
