Hi Daniel, Just a heads up, dd(1) prints progress information if it receives SIGINFO.. "If dd receives a SIGINFO (see the ``status'' argument for stty(1)) signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output in the same format as the standard completion message. If dd receives a SIGINT signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output in the same format as the standard completion message and dd will exit." In this cast, most people would add something like "stty status ^T" to their profile, or.. type it before they ran dd. Glad you figured it all out for your run.. :-) -Brynet
