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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dcfldd depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 dcfldd recommends no packages. dcfldd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
