Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.4 Severity: minor File: /bin/dd In this example, /dev/sde1 is a Flash card with, indeed, 2.1GB of space.
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde1 bs=512b count=4013650 dd: writing `/dev/sde1': No space left on device 7840+0 records in 7839+0 records out 2054988800 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 199.649 seconds, 10.3 MB/s If it really copied 2054988800 bytes, it should have printed 4013650 records out. If it really only copied 7839 records of 512 bytes each, it only copied 4013568 bytes. (Given the time elapsed I believe the byte count. I note that 7839 * 512 is suspiciously close to the correct number of records copied. Is something getting divided by something else once more than it should be, maybe?) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.45-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2+b1 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
