BTW: Are there any generic "progress indicator" scripts or programs on the grml CD? Something to put into a pipe (e. g. between »dd if=/some/disk« and netcat) to see how much data flows through it? Anything from nice bars to just a KB/MB/GB counter would be nice.

For sure:

,---- [ % grml-tips "status line" ] | Use dd with status line: | | # dd if=/dev/ice conv=noerror,notrunc,sync | buffer -S 100k | dd of=/tmp/file `----

Oh and of course take a look at dcfldd which is available on grml as well and provides "display a continual status message on stderr" OOTB.
