X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 14:22:14 -0000 I am used to using this command in Linux, using GNU dd: dd if=/blah of=/bleh oflag=append conv=notrunc The problem is, FreeBSD 'dd' does not understand the "oflag" argument. Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
