Use rdisk# instead of disk# on Mac OS X

Open tdb85 opened this issue 14 years ago • 1 comments

Suggest you tweak the script to use /dev/rdisk# instead of /dev/disk# as rdisk is MUCH faster when using dd. dd a 700mb to /dev/rdisk1 (with bs=1m) image takes about a minute, but with /dev/disk1 it takes a good 15 minutes.

Cheers.
