that's interesting, as the error log made it look like it was dd that
was looping.
Which error log?
Unfortunately I do not have it. Ubuntu crashed when I inserted the USB
stick (the Abit board has done it with other distros too).
So I hope you can take my word for it that for each sector it had
difficultly reading, the log reapeated the read error 40 times. The
drive was sent back after I recovered what I could, so I couldn't
generate the log. I used dd twice on the drive, and the logs both times
repeated each sector 40 times before moving on to the next one.
Looked something like follows, this is just a mock up:
dd: (warning): /dev/sdb2 (60078127.5k): Input/output error!
dd: (info): ipos: 60078128.0k, opos: 60078128.0k, xferd: 60078128.0k
* errs: 51336, errxfer: 25668.0k, succxfer:
60052460.0k
+curr.rate: 0kB/s, avg.rate: 141kB/s,
avg.load: 0.3%
dd: (warning): /dev/sdb2 (60078127.5k): Input/output error!

* errs: 51336, errxfer: 25668.0k, succxfer:
60052460.0k
+curr.rate: 0kB/s, avg.rate: 141kB/s,
avg.load: 0.3%
{2 repeats, continues like this for another 38 times}
Kind regards, Jon
