Consistently, when I try to use dd to create an iso file from a CD, the iso file becomes much larger than it could possibly be. I ussually stop it when it hits a gig.
Everywhere I look online suggests that this should work: dd if=/dev/cd0c of=/path/image.iso But it just keeps on writing until it fills the disk. I have also tried playing with block sizes. I believe a CD9660 file system has a block size of 2048 and my ffs file system on OpenBSD is 512k blocks. So I have tried bs=512 and bs=2048, and I have also tried ibs=2048 obs=512. No matter what I do, that sucker just keeps on writing. Using dd normally always worked in BeOS... Is there something else I could try or is this function buggy in OpenBSD? TimH
