If you have coreutils < 8.24
you have to use the pv
command:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | apt-get install pv # install pipe viewer pv -tpreb /dev/sda | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror # or use dialog for a prettier output (pv -n /dev/sda | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=128M conv=notrunc,noerror) 2>&1 | \ dialog --gauge "Running dd command (cloning), please wait..." 10 70 0 |
otherwise you can use the built-in option:
1 | dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k status=progress |
