How does one convert from LBA to skip, blocksize, and count? IE I want to write zero's over LBA 00FF68 through 00FF6F on a raw device /dev/sda /dev/rhdisk4, /drv/C0T0D0S1, etc..
As an example under AIX I would like to use: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rhdisk4 skip=AAAA blocksize=BBBB count=CCCC Where can I obtain the info to calculate AAAA, BBBB and CCCC? Whatever platform you can show me how to do the math on I can probably figure out how to do this on AIX, Linux, Solaris, etc.. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
