`dd if={{file.iso}} of=/dev/{{usb_drive}} status=progress`
|
|
|
|
- Clone a drive to another drive with 4MB block, ignore error and show progress:
|
|
|
|
`dd if=/dev/{{source_drive}} of=/dev/{{dest_drive}} bs=4M conv=noerror status=progress`
|
|
|
|
- Generate a file of 100 random bytes by using kernel random driver:
|
|
|

`dd if=/dev/urandom of={{random_file}} bs=100 count=1`
|
|
|
|
- Benchmark the write performance of a disk:
