I just did: dd bs=3000M
and got: dd: invalid number `3000M' I then spent some time of finding the limit. It would, however, have been a help if dd had given me the information on what the number should be. E.g. dd: invalid number `3000M'. Must be less than 2147483647 Regards, Ole Tange _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
