Unix / Linux: Print IO Statistics of Running dd Process
Let’s say you have a dd
process that is running. By default, dd
will only print IO statistics once the job has been completed or if it is interrupted by a Ctrl-C (SIGINT) command. While the job is running, you will probably have no idea how much data has been copied, the current progress or the copying speed. But fret not, there is actually a way to get the IO statistics of a running dd
process.
