Beso, the block size in the filesystem is 4k, this I know having formatted a second HD with same sized partition as failed HD. I don't know how much data I should tell dd to skip (and NULL=fill) in case of read error. From the dd output I only know there is a read error and only 32kbyte were transferred, but I have no idea how big was the block of data dd was trying to access. But probably, as Duncan suggests, this is not important. dd will try to access a block size as specified on the command line, and if error occurs it will zero-fill and jump to next block of data, but this size it totally unrelated with the _filesystem_ block size. raffaele -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
