Package: dcfldd
Version: 1.3.4.1-11~bpo9+1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
Recently upgraded to Debian Stretch from Wheezy so I don't know when this bug 
was introduced but here is what I get when running dcfldd from one 50GB 
partition to another:

[0% of 28213188Mb] 400 blocks (400Mb) written. 117:33:11 remaining.

/proc/partitions has this for the partition in question:
   8        2   56426376 sda2
i.e. it's 56 GiB and not 28TiB as dcfldd seems to think. It doesn't actually 
take 117 hours to complete just the usual 30 minutes.

The command line is:
dcfldd bs=1M if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdf2 sizeprobe=if statusinterval=100

so I'm guessing that the sizeprobe is the problem.
