I just saw a comment in one forum related to dd utility and its a new
feature. If user use that version then user no longer needs to use pv
command. Maybe Trisquel users will find that version in next Trisquel main
release. Currently it is:
$ dd --version
dd (coreutils) 8.21
"New version of coreutils (8.24) adding a status progress to dd tool:
Usage on Xubuntu 15.10:
Open terminal shell and type these commands:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.24.tar.xz
tar -xf coreutils-8.24.tar.xz
cd coreutils-8.24
./configure && make -j $(nproc)
Run dd as root:
sudo ./dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sda conv=noerror status=progress
You will see: Bytes, Seconds and Velocity (Bytes/seconds)
To check versions of dd:
Native:
dd –version
New (cd coreutils-8.24/src):
./dd –version"
