[Cialug] Using dd and netcat to move a disk

[Dave Weis]

Do you have another shell you can use ps in to see if its R or S? It should drop to the prompt when done.

Subject: [Cialug] Using dd and netcat to move a disk


I'm using a command like this:
dd if=/dev/sda | nc x.x.x.x 6001

To move a drive between machines.  The dd program has reported how many records have been read and written (18290688+0 records in 18290688+0 records out).  

Will the system return to the command line?  It seems to have stopped responding, is this an artifact of nc still waiting for input?


Thanks.
