Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.3 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Hi, assuming you have a file /tmp/A with a size of 1 GB $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/A bs=1M count=37 oflag=append dd: you probably want conv=notrunc with oflag=append 37+0 records in 37+0 records out [...] The file now has 37 MB and not 1037 MB So dd throws an error/hint but does not stop. I would have expected an exit() after that error. cheers, Florian -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.1-fls-nb Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF8,) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
