Or what I did the other day, put in a dd command with bs=1 where I meant to type bs=1M. Why is this taking so long? Is my drive broken? Is it even doing anything?
Took me a while to notice my mistake
I like how you assume double-checking would save my dumb ass. Hell, maybe it does. I'll run fdisk or lsblk, stare at each character, and run it again just to be safe
