      bs=1M

      This part varies based on your hardware (my hardware is much faster with a value of 4096) , but other than that it’s everything.

      Here is a handy script that can help determine which bs size is best for your hardware.

        I think you might mean 4096.

      dd can be soooo much faster too. But like you, I always forget the tags. I should make an alias sometime…

          Use conv=fsync

          This ensures the cache is written before dd exits, but doesn’t necessarily write to disk directly. This means that, for small files, dd can finish release its hold on the input file quicker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
