00:20:20 — I wonder how fast dd is and how long should take to copy 1.5TB of data.
00:21:15 — (aka if it's taken over 24hours should I start worrying?)
00:26:05 — Ahah judicious googling tells me that "30 min for 500gb sounds fine" so I'm assuming something is wrong here.
00:38:09 — Ooor I could calculate. Ooor I could just let this run while I sleep. #pickingtheonethatslesswork
01:13:20 — Ahaha kill -INFO lets me know I've transferred over 0.27TB so far this past 24 hours.nThis is going to take a while.
02:50:39 — @alierak hard drive that's broken to hard drive that's working! lemme see if I can get that to work on the Mac. Doesn't seem to like letters
02:56:09 — @alierak I managed to mount the new drive after interrupted dd (eh...) and got data fine so am hopeful! Does it matter if i set seek/skip?
02:57:08 — @alierak er it == block size. Or is it best to start from 0 to be sure? (an guessing it's fine but things on this level make me wary!)
03:07:21 — @alierak do i need to calc starting point as a multiple of the old block size? Oh actually nvm want to start again bec of mount Thanks!
03:09:34 — @alierak oh man it is going 2-3 times as fast now. So much thanks!
03:38:14 — @alierak I will try that thanks! Currently having fun playing with dd if=/dev/random heh.
12:57:53 — Huh I just noticed a promoted tweet by someone I don't follow. I... Okay? O.o
