Check dd status? How long should it take?


Recommended Posts

Duplicating a 4TB drive with dd

 

dd if=/dev/sdi of=/dev/sdh bs=1M conv=noerror

 

Anyway for me to check status/progress?

Any estimates on how long it should take?

 

Been running about 12 hrs so far.

 

Also, how do you get ddrescue onto unRaid and run it. Trying to find a HOWTO for it in the forums without luck

 

unRaid 5.0.5

Coincidentally, I was just informed of a new option for dd to show progress -> status=progress.  Unfortunately, you probably need a much newer dd than you have.  Try dd --help.  Now if you had upgraded to v6 ...    ;)

Check out WeeboTech's work.  And search the forums for 'ddrescue', with user 'WeeboTech'.
