- stcredzero 16y agoSomeone should patent it!
- g__ 16y agoAnd it's extremely fast: $ pv /dev/zero > /dev/null 18.6GB 0:00:05 [3.76GB/s] [ <=> ]
- tsuraan 16y agoThe really amusing thing is that (at least on my machine) it's pv that's the bottleneck there; I have it using 101% cpu, anyhow. pv will give me 9.7GB/s, whereas dd will give me 13.3GB/s (also at 100% cpu). I wonder if anything's faster than dd :)
- jacquesm 16y ago> pv will give me 9.7GB/s Wow. What kind of hardware is your /dev/null ? Do you use striping ?
- MicahWedemeyer 16y agoI won't use anything that doesn't have 5-nines uptime guaranteed by an SLA. Until there's an enterprise-level solution for /dev/null, I think I'm going to have to stick with S4.
