(9:48:13 AM) jagg1 [~brandon@dsl081-044-035.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net] entered the room.
(9:59:00 AM) jagg1: how do I keep tabs on a dd of a 500gb drive to another 500gb drive?  It would be nice to have a progress meter
(10:00:05 AM) brom: must be dd utilities but have to be installed prior to dd
(10:00:38 AM) j2: lol
(10:01:23 AM) j2: Sending a USR1 signal to a running `dd' process makes it print I/O statistics to standard error and  then
(10:01:23 AM) j2:        resume copying.
(10:01:27 AM) j2: RTFM
(10:01:32 AM) brom: yeah that
(10:01:44 AM) j2: quit talking out of your ass
(10:01:55 AM) brom: didnt it sound good
(10:02:01 AM) j2: no, it sounded idiotic
(10:02:09 AM) brom: hey hp has a utility that might help
(10:02:16 AM) brom: lick my sack
(10:04:01 AM) brom: run home during lunch and drop a midol or 2
(10:04:38 AM) j2: just get it over with and kill yourself















(11:03:38 AM) jagg1: brom, yeah.. I'm a bit inexperienced in raid..
(11:04:22 AM) jagg1: but this is straight forward duplication of a drive..  I thought dd would copy from the device (not an individual partition) to a destination device fine
(11:05:01 AM) brom: u thought WRONG
(11:05:10 AM) brom: get a hardware duplicator
(11:05:35 AM) jagg1: I'm not understanding -- what's wrong with dd ?
(11:06:09 AM) j2: jagg, is that media error in your syslog?
(11:08:01 AM) jagg1: (running off linux rescue cd)  yeah.. it's in messages
(11:08:11 AM) brom: Forensic SF-5000 Forensics MD-5 
(11:08:11 AM) brom: This hand-held IDE hard drive data capturing system is ideal for on-site forensic hard drive data seizure by law enforcement, corporate security, and cyber crime prosecution. 
(11:08:23 AM) brom: fuckkkkk....they getting sophisticated
(11:08:57 AM) brom: get the omnicloe
(11:09:01 AM) brom: omniclone
(11:09:10 AM) j2: jag, what's the actual msg
(11:09:28 AM) jagg1: by the way, I was trying this backup before using the controller's own duplicate function
