Yes, sorry; I forgot that FreeBSD's dd does not stat its endpoints to see if they are devices, and gets the st_blksize and insists that it be used (at least internally) for S_IFBLK and S_IFCHR values of st_mode. Perhaps it should be unbroken by someone with a commit bit and/or the ability to have their send-pr's not rejected as relay SPAM. 8-p. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
