Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 Severity: normal File: /bin/dd
For some reason the following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile_4G bs=4G count=1 produces a 2G file: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile_4G bs=4G count=1 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 2147479552 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 64.1528 s, 33.5 MB/s I could produce a 4G file by concatenating the output file with itself: $ cat testfile_4G testfile_4G > final_4G $ du -sh * 4.1G final_4G 2.1G testfile_4G Thanks -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (200, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.49-4 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-2 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
