Anybody ever been crazy/desperate enough to dd a 9gb SCSI disk?
We've had a dd going on a Sun 450 for hours now.  dd as far as I know 
doesn't offer verbose, so it's just quietly sitting there.  *Something* is 
happening between the disks b/c the little green lights are flickering on 
them.  

This has 4 400Mhz processors (but during dd only one would be used, 
afaik).  No idea the amount of ram, except that it's over 1Gb.  We used a 
1024 block size..the disk we're dd'ing from is giving us some going-bad 
warnings so we don't want to access it too much for fear of it outright 
dying.  Any advice on how long this should take would be...calming. :)

Thanks
