This thread deserves more attention than it gets. I was getting annoyed with dd and no status display today (lots of Raspberry Pis to image.) This time I know the exact size of the sd cards being imaged tho, so pv is very helpful.

dd if=/home/comtech/rpi.img | pv -s 16g | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4k

[root@localhost comtech]# dd if=/home/comtech/rpi.img | pv -s 16g | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0

So as I type it dynamically auto suggests things. Then just hit ctrl+e to auto complete.
