Yeah, it shouldn't where you run the command, as long as it's a root shell. (or prefix it with "sudo" if you don't have a root shell).
If the dd command also hangs, it would be good to check out /var/log/syslog or the output of the "dmesg" command to see if there are any useful messages printed by disk's device driver. -- fsck hangs during forced check at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
