Hi,
I'd like to ask which sizes are comfortable to use for reading
from different media using the dd utility. As far as I know,
these are good values:
Format Device (example) bs=
------------- --------------------- ----
Data CD /dev/acd0 2048
Music CD /dev/acd0t01 2352
DVD /dev/acd0 2048 (?)
Hard disk /dev/ad0s1g 1m (?)
The usual command is
% dd if=/dev/see-above of=somefile.dd bs=whatever
What about copying partition-wise from a hard disk to a dd file?
Which bs= parameter would be encouraged to use?
