It says it only copied 2.1GB. You are runnig a 64bit OS. You reinstalld
the same coreutils package. You need to change the format of the package
names from "rpm -qa" if you want to see the architecture ("man rpm" should
help you figure out how).

Hi,
I just paid attention that utility 'dd' uses just 2 GB even I use greater
block size (BS). For example
=====
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/TestFile-S1 bs=12GB count=1
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
2147479552 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 15.8235 seconds, 136 MB/s

However after that I see

coreutils-5.97-34.el5
policycoreutils-gui-1.33.12-14.8.el5
i.e. no package with name coreutils.x86_64
I failed to find anything on the topic in scientific linux mailing list.
Does somebody know about dd for 64 bit ?
Many thanks in advance,
Andrey
