coreutils for 64 bit

2012-02-01 Thread Andrey Y Shevel
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

Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. I am not sure that I do understand you (sorry for my stupidity). I have === [root@pcfarm-10 ~]# yum list | grep coreutil Failed to set locale, defaulting to C coreutils.x86_64 5.97-34.el5 installed

Exactly if you type man rpm it will show you how you get it to print the arch string (usually i686 or x86_64). Since you seem unabel to read a man page what you want to type is; rpm -qa --queryformat %{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{ARCH}\n | grep coreutils (or miss out the VERSION if you want to see

Just on a hunch how much does it copy if you give it a BS=1GB? This might be an uncaught 32 bit int on only the block size value. {^_^} On 2012/02/01 09:58, Andrey Y. Shevel wrote: Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. I am not sure that I do understand you (sorry for my stupidity). I have
