--- Comment #3 from Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO <tomek@cedro.info> ---
Hello Andrew! :-)

Thank you for your reply. There is a discussion on a mailing lists (questio=
ns
andusb), where some folks say this is the pendrive problem, others suggest =
that
invalid MBR may be the reason of discarding writes to MBR.

I think here is the best place to ask questions and solve the issue directly
with authors :-)

1. I would like to clarify why I was unable to write to MBR (first 512 byte=
s)
of the da1 while there was no problem with writhing to the rest of the disk?

2. GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (da1, MBR) <- could that block / disca=
rd
writes to MBR silently?

3. Why `dd if=3D/dev/da0 of=3D/dev/da1` did copy all disk except the MBR?

4. Why I was unable to write to MBR from a file but it was possible to write
that data from a file over md0?

This is the first time such situation happened to me in FreeBSD for many ma=
ny
years. I am working a lot on disk copies / images so reliable and trustwort=
hy
DD is a must have for me..
