That dd's got some messed up error messages, no? If you have occasion to dd the other direction, be watchful of the "records in/out" output. IIRC, the format is undocumented, but it uses a "+" to indicate that the input data had a partial record and you need to watch that it doesn't leave the last, partial block off the CD. I found a solution in the use of dd's "sync" option. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
