is there any possible issue here with pending writes all being completed? i recall, from somewhere in the distant past, that "cp" might not guarantee all output is flushed, while dd *would* guarantee. or was it the other way around? anyway, you get the idea. i've always used "dd" for just this (possibly bogus) reason. rday _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
