The key is on /dev/sdh, but when I did the first command, I receive the
message:
dd: writing to `/dev/sdh': no free space on the device
2+0 red recordings
1+0 written recordings
512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0,00164514 second, 311 kB/s
Is my key hs or have I a hope to solve this problem?
Given your example command, dd will simply write to the device until
either the read filehandle returns EOF (which /dev/zero should not) or
the write filehandle returns ENOSPC.
It's possible that your USB drive has a fault. Are you able to use it
correctly on other systems? Does dd perform as expected when you try a
different USB drive?
Cheers,
Phil
