I use the pv tool to give me some feedback thus:
Code::
dd if=/dev/zero ibs=4096 | pv -s {size in bytes} | dd of={target} obs=4096
Experimenting with different block sizes helps with speed. Of course all this piping slows things down a bit though.
How universal would you say the pv command to be? Is it exclusive to dd?
