Package: coreutils Version: 5.2.1-2 Severity: wishlist
dd has an option to continue after read errors, but not to continue after write errors. I am using dd to clean data from a hard disk that has some bad sectors: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb conv=noerror but it stops after first write failure. It would be useful that had an option to continue after write errors, discarding data while it can not be written. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
