Hello! I running a Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 system with Kernel 2.2 and GNU C Library 2.2.5.
I don't now exactly if it's a bug. Also it can be from C Library. The problem is: I have a 1.44MB floppy disk that has the 2817th sector bad and its 2816th sector isn't bad; when I try to read this sector with the command: # dd if=/dev/fd0h1440 of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=2816 count=1 , it gets an io error. I think it's because dd or the C Library gets 1024 bytes instead of 512 bytes at a time from the device. The badblocks program, which is not part of fileutils package, has the same behavior with -b 512, an option that takes 512 bytes per block. I tested to cp a file that is using this sector from the mounted diskette (an operation that uses kernel filesystem drivers, which ones don't use glibc), and I don't encounter any problem. If there isn't information enough, or if my Brazilian English wasn't very clear, please tell me. Thanks very much! _______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
