Thanks for this. I actually spent a bit of time playing around and learning about dd based on the above. I found that on my machine it is also slower as well. Never really had a need to use dd even with many years of playing with Unix. This post appears to have the reason: https://superuser.com/questions/359599/why-is-my-dev-random-... (This raises the question of why using openssl (per other comment) makes it faster.) |
