| Oct 24, 2015 at 20:27 | history | edited | muru | CC BY-SA 3.0 | the default input and output of tar is stdin/stdout, and -C can do the job more safely |
| Oct 4, 2015 at 18:35 | comment | added | Marco | @Skaperen I don't know vbuf. But as it seems it is in Debian unstable at the moment and therefore often not available on Servers which are usually running Debian stable. | |
| Oct 4, 2015 at 10:56 | comment | added | Skaperen | vbuf (debian, ubuntu) is a good bit faster than pv, probably because of its virtual ring buffer | |

| May 11, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | Jan Fabry | This will give you transfer speed, but not ETA, because pv doesn't know how much data will come through the pipe. You can specify this using -s. E.g. first do du -sh sourceDirectory to get a (rough) idea, and then pass it to pv, like this: pv -s 100m. | |
