Making your dd blocksize a multiple (say 10) of physical blocksize should
cure this. I use something like:
AUBLKSIZE=2352
AUWRSIZE=5
AURDSIZE=`expr $AUWRSIZE '*' 2`
OBS=`expr $AUBLKSIZE '*' $AUWRSIZE`
IBS=`expr $AUBLKSIZE '*' $AURDSIZE`
rtprio 5 team -v 1m 5 <$1 | \
rtprio 4 dd ibs=$IBS of=$WORM obs=$OBS conv=osync || exit
ymmv,
Andrew.
