Linux dd Command Show Progress Copy Bar With Status

To show the progress bar with status while using the dd command in Linux, you can use the pv utility. Here’s an example of how you can pipe the output of dd to pv:

dd if=/dev/sda | pv | dd of=/dev/sdb

This will show a progress bar with the transfer rate, time elapsed, and estimated time remaining during the copy process. The pv utility can be installed on most Linux distributions through the package manager.
