What is the (Free)BSD counterpart of conv=fsync in dd command? Command in question is dd if=GNOME-3.6.0.iso of=/dev/DRIVE bs=8M conv=fsync This is for writing to a USB stick, and of course DRIVE is replaced by the actual device node; also I believe bs=8M, good for Linux, would be bs=8m in FreeBSD. I don't really know if "conv=fsync" is necessary, but that's what was advised in the GNOME test-drive download page. Do I need to build and install coreutils from ports? Tom
