# dd

> Convert and copy a file.
|
||||
|
||||
- Make a bootable usb drive from an isohybrid file (such like archlinux-xxx.iso) and show the progress:
|
||||
|
||||
`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:
|
||||
|
||||
`dd if=/dev/zero of={{file_1GB}} bs=1024 count=1000000`
|
||||
|
||||
- Check progress of an ongoing dd operation (Run this command from another shell):
|
||||
|
||||
`kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd)`
