I always recommend to add "oflag=sync" to dd itself: this way it syncs as it goes and you don't have to wait for a (potentially long) time for sync to "come back". Together with "status=progress" you get a visual feedback on how things are going (without having to kill -USR1 the thing all the time :) So: dd if=<mysource> of=<mydest> oflag=sync status=progress When that's done, it's done (you can throw a sync after it to feel better, but it will come back immediately anyway :-) Cheers -- tomás
