Should I get some response after implementing "dd" ?
Looks as there is no "-v" for verbose either.
 


G'day Anne

Not until it is finished, which may be quite a number of minutes, then it will show files copied and number of seconds taken to complete.

There is a switch you can add which will provide a progress indicator, but the output generated by that usage is usually not the complete picture.

May I ask what was the command you were issuing?

Cheers

last time i did a dd of arch i'm pretty sure (from memory) at bottom of terminal i got output using :

dd bs=4 if=archlinux-2021.04.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress && sync
 
I am trying to duplicate active OS partition
dd if=/dev/sdc22 of=/dev/sdb24
I am not sure I can do that on working OS and since I am dealing with up to 30 Gb it may take a while.
 
Here is dd response . As excpected it took a while. Now it is time to "update-grub" and see if it see /dev/sda6

qw@qw-desktop:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdc22 of=/dev/sda6
