Can someone tell me how the dd command handles block sizes? The man page and any Linux books I have don't explain it very well. If I specify dd if=\dev\mydevice ... bs=1M What happens if mydevice has a fraction of a block left over? What is "notrunc" for the output file? Truncation from what to what? -- -Dan Dr. Dan Martin, MD, CCFP, BSc, BCSc (Hon) GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Science grad student ummar143@cc.umanitoba.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on
