dd has a similar feature, but with SIGUSR (kill -USR1), and it works on Linux too.

How do you fire that signal from the console ?

pkill -USR1 dd
You'll need to use ps to get the pid if you've got multiple dd instances running, and you'll of course need to run that as root if your dd instance is running as root.

Personally, I think the experience of typing ctrl+t is better than using pkill. Just 2 keyboard taps and you're done.
