Synopsis: Raw floppy writes fail for partial bytes. State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: joerg State-Changed-When: Fri Aug 10 14:47:07 MEST 2001 State-Changed-Why: This is normal and expected behaviour for a `raw' device: all IO requests need to be multiples of the hardware block size (typically 512 bytes, but can be larger iff the medium block size is larger, like for non-standard floppies, MO media, or CD-ROMs). Use a tool like tar or cpio when copying arbitrary stuff to raw devices. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20725 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
