Yes, it is the dd command which I am referring to like this -
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/st0 bs=1M My concern was that the input and output of 10000+0 was a very round number and my memory was telling me that what I had seen in the past was something that looked more like an actual number of records. Does the 10000+0 look correct, or am I right to be suspicious. Jim McAlpine On 6/27/06, McKown, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Then the only change in interpretion of those messages would be that the "records" would be 4096 bytes in length instead of 512 bytes in length. But they do look normal for the "dd" command.
