Hi,

I'm struggling getting FreeBSD 9.1 properly work on an IBM blade server
(HS22). Here is a dd output from Linux CentOS vs FreeBSD 9.1.


GNU dd is heavily buffered unless you tell it not to be. There really is no reason why you should want dd to be buffered by default. How can you trust that your attempt at writing raw data to a device actually completed if it's buffered?
