This is NOT a dd problem. I have been trying to write large files to a vfat filesystem. This is definitely a bug with the kernel. I have had the seg fault. Try running the program again, but look at your console. It think that it will result in a kernel bug statement.I think that mine said it was in File.c:89 . Nathan P.S. I was trying to capture atm data on the partition. The code I am using works great with an ext2fs partition, but the vfat dies at exactly the same place. -----Original Message----- From: Cappellini, Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 4:09 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: PROBLEM- Segmentation fault occurs when dd'ing entire drive (9.x GB) to a vfat partition.
