The jetcat-mod is a filter that monitors the process of the copy, and
outputs
the info every 5 seconds with this option. The dialog then displays a running
graph of the progress along with estimated speed. In the clone case there is
no compression, so the rate is generally the physical speed of disk. With
image files that are compressed, the effective speed can vary greatly
depending on how much the data was compressed. Mostly just gives
progress versus just waiting for the dd command to finish.
Why no just dd parameter "status=progress"?
