Splitting dd images

Codegen · 07-23-2006, 09:54 AM

I know there's a way to split images with dd. I don't know what the command is, though.

Can somebody give me a hand?

The problem I'm having is that Samba has a 2GB limit. The image would probably be around ~2.1 GB (figures).

You count use the count functionality along with skip. For example:

Code:

$ dd if=bigfile of=smallfile1 count=1048576
$ dd if=bigfile of=smallfile2  skip=1048576

Shit, I just confused 'quote' with 'report'
Mods, ignore the report.

I'll try the skip thingy.
