Shouldn't write/fwrite block until all has been written? Especially since fwrite(3) says: The function fwrite() returns a value less than nmemb only if a write error has occurred. Plus, the error only appears on the fixit boot... Ok, the other machine I've tried it on is over 3x as fast but I doubt that really makes a difference. I think I'm going to build a bdes with some debugging code sprinkled in to see what's going on. mkb.
