Thanks to you both! Indeed, "dd" works when bs=10k, and tar works as long as you don't try to auto-compare it. I'll look into using --compare instead, thanks.
I wonder if this is a bug or feature in tar? Should I report it? -- Regards, Christian Iversen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
