BAD MSG: not just 0x01 or 0x02 or 0xf0, etc). About 3572 bytes worth. Wanting to confirm the location, I ran it again...this time 95573 bytes.
To check disk contents I adapted the program I used to read back to seek to the above position. No problem. A run after that again, 85212 and 33157. Try again with 2.2.8-STABLE (built from GENERIC): # dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384k of=/dev/rsd0s4 dd: /dev/rsd0s4: short write on character device dd: /dev/rsd0s4: end of device 125+0 records in 124+1 records out 2089221120 bytes transferred in 244.473397 secs (8545801 bytes/sec) No non-zero bytes were read back using the program I wrote. And with: # dd if=/dev/rsd0s4 bs=16384k | hexdump -x -n 2089221120 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 * 124+1 records in 124+1 records out 2089221120 bytes transferred in 433.489148 secs (4819547 bytes/sec) 7c86fc00 (repeated twice) At no time during this was the hardware changed (though it's in a somewhat state of advaced disarray).
