- zimbatm 11y agoJust on SIGUSR1 would be good enough to get an idea where dd is at. And it would be on stderr, not stdout.
- Gracana 11y ago> it would be on stderr, not stdout Oh, that's true. Anyway, what behavior do you want to see exactly? You can still send the USR1 signal and get the update behavior just like before. Were you just pointing out that there are cases where you still need to use that feature, or something else?
