Package: coreutils Version: 8.32-4+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Usually to copy an iso image to a USB stick I would do: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdg "/dev/sdg" the path to the USB key checked in the logs. Today with version dd (coreutils) 8.32, this command replaces the block device /dev/sdg with a /dev/sdg regular file which has the same size as the iso image. Is it a bug or a new feature? I couldn't find an option in the man page for this new feature. I used the pv command instead of dd, and I copied the iso image to the usb stick. pv image.iso > /dev/sdg Regards. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.53-9 ii libattr1 1:2.4.48-6 ii libc6 2.31-9 ii libgmp10 2:6.2.1+dfsg-1 ii libselinux1 3.1-2+b2 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
