I needed to write an iso image to a USB key, and the typical way is with
|
|
just dd(8), but I wanted a progress bar. A quick google later, and I
|
|
get:
|
|
|
|
pv -tpreb isoname | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1024
|
|
|
|
Which will write the iso image to the USB stick sdd, and give me a
|
|
progress bar, tell me how fast it is writing, and give me an eta when
|
|
finished. Perfect.
