- Subject: Bug in dd ?? at EOM
When using dd with flags conv=noerror,sync
It tries reading after the disc ends.
This line in cygwin tries reading past end of media:
dd if=/dev/sdd of=kkkkkk bs=512 skip=156280250 conv=noerror,sync
dd: reading `/dev/sdd': Input/Output error
21120+0 records in
21120+0 records out
10813440 bytes (11 MB) copied, 1.151 seconds, 9.4 MB/s
dd: reading `/dev/sdd': Input/Output error
21120+1 records in
21121+0 records out
repeats "forever"
In linux the same:
dd if=/dev/hda of=kkkkkk bs=512 skip=90069830 conv=noerror,sync
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
Stops at end of disk. Whos wrong?
