1M blocks work very very bad for me - it overloads the CPU but creation takes forever on a 4G thumbdrive through a non-highspeed USB connection. Worse - I can't stop the process because stopping the USB creator or even killing dd doesn't clear the kernel buffers that are used in the transfer. If I try to "unmount" the drive, I get a dialog box telling me the system is still writing data to the drive. Eventually - more then 6 hours after starting the process - I had to yank the drive out.
I think a block size of a few kilobytes will be much more useful. -- Persistence Slider Wrong; Takes more than 3 hours to produce largest persistence file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
