This is Linux, isn't it?

On Linux systems, if you do killall -USR1 dd that will send SIGUSR1 to dd, causing dd to print progress statistics. It won't know what percent it's done, since it can't measure the length of a pipe, but it will know how much it's copied.

You can put that in a loop.

Code:
while killall -USR1 dd
do
        sleep 10
done

disktab

DISKTAB(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							DISKTAB(5)

NAME

     disktab -- disk description file

SYNOPSIS

     #include <disktab.h>

DESCRIPTION

     disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics.  It is used to initialize the disk label on
     the disk.	The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base.  Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:' separated fields.
     The first entry for each disk gives the names which are known for the disk, separated by `|' characters.  The last name given should be a
     long name fully identifying the disk.

     The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry.
