Description Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2010-02-08 19:35:49 UTC

Use a command line like
  dc3dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 count=1000

Expected behavior:
  dc3dd should copy 4096*1000 bytes

Actual behavior:
  dc3dd copies 512*1000 bytes

Sorry it has taken me so long to follow up on this bug, been unfortunately busy. I have verified the bug and will be looking into a patch. I have also contacted upstream about the issue.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Adam, is there a link to the upstream discussion? Thanks.

(Not urgent for me, just making sure this doesn't get lost.)

Comment 5 Adam Miller 2012-01-14 20:06:47 UTC

Upstream instead of fixing this just removed the bs= option from the utility. Marking closed as deferred, latest release in rawhide currently ... will test for F15 and F16 then push an update soon.
