Hello maintainers.
I would like to see some dd with progress meter :) and found out that
You should just use ddrescue (gnu_ddrescue), also because it does not have the awkward conversion (conv=).
what do you mean?
Er, awkward options like count= (combined with bs=) which make you have to do convert byte offsets into sector-sized pieces, and damn you if the number of bytes to skip=, seek= or be transferred is a prime number. Well, these options may make sense in their own right, but just once again show that dd is not the tool anyone should be looking for. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
