Hi, (I'm guessing this might be the right list, but feel free to let me know if there's a better one.)
It looks like I've hosed one of my hard drives through some clueless use of the dd command (as root of course) and I'd like to understand what I did wrong. I was trying to erase /dev/sda entirely so I did this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8192 count=122095323 (That last number being the size of the drive in bytes divided by 8192.) My question is: is it possible that it could have gone pass the end of /dev/sda and continued writing onto /dev/sdb?
