Subject: bin/6509: patch allows dd to skip/seek beyond 2G limit
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I just submitted a PR (bin/6509) modifies dd to use 64bit offset. With most
of disks sold today larger than 2G, I hope some of you will find the 64bit
dd handy if you want to reach the bottom half of your hard disk.
