I'm not quite sure how to parse that, but it sounds like a problem with some part of the system other than "dd", not with "dd" itself. When "dd" gets a signal, it closes the input and output files, prints some statistics, and exits. If it gets a second signal it exits immediately. I don't offhand see why this could cause a hang that was dd's fault. It sounds like you may need to investigate this on your own host. You don't mention which version of "dd" you're having the problem with. "dd --version" should tell you. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
