Bug#981996: coreutils: dd create a regular file instead of writing to the block file

I couldn't find an option in the man page for this new feature. dd didn't remove the device file. I suggest that you remove the usb stick, remove the device file, insert the usb stick, check that the device file is actually there and correct, then try again with dd. Hi, Thank you for your reply. Yes, Friday I was on my PC at work. I tested this weekend on my home PC, and didn't have this problem. I retested on my PC at work and I no longer have this problem. The bug report can be closed.

Bug#981996: coreutils: dd create a regular file instead of writing to the block file
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 libc62.31-9 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
