Description Joerg Plate 2005-01-16 02:11:09 UTC

When coping a large file (e.g. a DVD iso image) cp displays a constant
38 MiB/s until ~50% is reached. After this the ETA: is 00:00:00 and the
speed raises to 4134 MiB/s...


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp -vg Foo.iso /dev/null

Before this can be looked at I do believe -g option on mv and cp has to be looked at it doesnt do any good if you use --progress it seems to work fine.
