Well, this way it's okay that dd does not accept 3G as block size, but then man dd would document that according to the appropriate behavior. Like this: BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: c =1, w =2, b=512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M=1024*1024, xM =M GB=1000*1000*1000, G =1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y. The same applies to BLOCKS with the practical exception your machine(?)/kernel(?)/... needs to be able to allocate memory for (at least(???)) one(?) block, so, you can expect not to be able to use block sizes greater or equal to 2G on a 32 bit architecture, and 16E on a 64 bit architecture.
or something like this. what I read now in man dd is a partial documentation which would (and had) me expect bs=3G to be OK in all cases, however it isn't ok in my case. Thank you for your reply anyways. -- Üdvözlettel: Ifj.
