Thanks Pádraig, Bob and Eric for helping me rule out this possibility. It's good to know that I was right in assuming that dd won't cross device (or partition -- if using "of=/dev/sda1" for example) boundaries.
I'll continue looking into my problem to try and think or other things that might have gone wrong while I was running dd. Cheers, Francois -- Francois Marier identi.ca/fmarier http://fmarier.org twitter.com/fmarier
