Package: fileutils
Version: 4.1-7
Severity: normal
dd is looping over these system calls:
read(0, 0x8053000, 8192) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(2, "dd: ", 4) = 4
write(2, "reading `/dev/cdrom\'", 20) = 20
write(2, ": Input/output error", 20) = 20
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
write(2, "entrati 69342+1 record\n", 23) = 23
write(2, "usciti 69342+1 record\n", 22) = 22
_llseek(0, 8192, 0xbffff794, SEEK_CUR) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
The command line was:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso conv=noerror bs=8192

Well, if it can't be reproduced it'll be hard to fix/debug. I have used
dd successfully on media with bad sectors. It's possible that there was
another bug (like a kernel bug) here, or that an older version of dd had
issues. Bug can be reopened if it recurs.
