Perhaps an alias in your .bashrc for dd would solve it? I usually just use ddrescue most of the time (primarily because I prefer it's usage syntax, but it also reports status).
Similarly you could alias rsync instead of copy and move:
alias pcp='rsync -au --info=progress2'
alias pmv='rsync -aP --info=progress2 --remove-source-files'
- animal-hash 3y agoThere's also dd status status=LEVEL The LEVEL of information to print to stderr; 'none' suppresses everything but error messages, 'noxfer' suppresses the final transfer statistics, 'progress' shows periodic transfer statistics and pv pv - monitor the progress of data through a pipe So with pv, you can do something like dd if=/dev/zero count=2 bs=512 | pv | dd of=/dev/null to visualize your dd progress.
- Ballas 3y agoI am aware of both of those, but in my case I prefer ddrescue for the syntax. For backup scripts I use dd and pv (and pigz). I recall I started using ddrescue because one of my distros would not autocomplete with the if= prefix, but I can't seem to replicate it currently - so it's probably been fixed (or my memory is failing me).
