After writing to them - I did "fdisk -l /dev/sdd" and the partitioning was still the same as before doing the write.

That is one of the reasons I am interested in a version later than 1.16 which has lots of issues on such a laptop display? - You say it is better (apart from freezing your display which is not good), how so? - Did you download Mate 1.20? If so, from where? - Or, did you compile it yourself? Thanks! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] dcfldd
Hi all I did a "yum install dcfldd" on Centos7. I plugged in my USB HUb, plugged in 3 disks I want to duplicate Verified each disk plugged in run the command dcfldd if=myimg.img of=/dev/sdd of=/dev/sde of=/dev/sdf No errors no nothing, Said "writing" the whole time - when done it said 8248Mb Written But the image was not actually written to the three disks. It still just has a single partition - the default partition. Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

From growpart man page: "this requires kernel support and 'partx --update'" Maybe it works for newer systems but didn't work when I last had to do it on EL6.

Hi, I have been using it for about a week and I have not found any problems, but only one: when I use 3 monitor /a notebook, and two lcd/, sometimes the display was frozen. I think, it is better, then 1.16, but I didn’t find a huge difference in use, maybe it more responsive, and look likes better ☺ --Fonya signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
