Convert and copy a file.
- Make a bootable usb drive from an isohybrid file (such like archlinux-xxx
.iso):
dd if=file.iso of=/dev/usb_drive
- Clone a drive to another drive with 4MB block and ignore error:
dd if=/dev/source_drive of=/dev/dest_drive bs=4m conv=noerror
- Generate a file of 100 random bytes by using kernel random driver:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=random_file bs=100 count=1
- Benchmark the write performance of a disk:
dd if=/dev/zero of=file_1GB bs=1024 count=1000000
