Hi all,
I'm trying to use dd to dump stuff to a usb flash drive (i.e. mass storage
device). However something tricks it into thinking the device is full
(/dev/sdb is the pendrive):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ dd if=/tmp/msd-test-data.cXoEqa2332 of=/dev/sdb bs=100 count=1
dd: writing `/dev/sdb': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$
Reading from it is no problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ dd if=/dev/sdb bs=100 count=1 | od -c
1+0 records in
1+0 records out

Is this expected behaviour under cygwin? What does "no space left on device"
even mean for a raw disk volume as opposed to a logical volume / partition?
cheers,
