I got the beginning with dd if=/dev/sdc7 of=raid-part-head bs=1M count=1
Fdisk etc. output with various units and "block sizes" but never stating the actual unit sizes is a mess. #blockdev --report /dev/sdc7 RO RA SSZ BSZ StartSec Size Device rw 256 512 512 195896673 19757090304 /dev/sdc7 #blockdev --getsize /dev/sdc7 38588067 Finaly this got me hopefully the last 1MB from the partition. #dd if=/dev/sdc7 of=raid-part-tail bs=512 skip=38586019 2048+0 Datensätze ein 2048+0 Datensätze aus 1048576 Bytes (1,0 MB) Note: I noticed the fdisk output added "+" to to the size column of the partition (what ever that means), it being an odd number, and these "Notes_on_dd_and_Odd_Sized_Disks" (last sector missing with linux): http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:wxd4K1L8Bc4J:www.cftt.nist.gov/Notes_on_dd_and_Odd_Sized_Disks4.doc+dd+copy+last+sector&cd=7&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de -- breaking raid: root raid_member opened as luks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531240 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
