Questions about dd
Hi
I'm reading up the usage of dd and is unclear about the use of bs option. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ommand-362506/ It shows how to copy a floppy into a image file. 80 cylinders (numbered 0 to 79), 2 heads (numbered 0 to 1) and 18 sectors (numbered 1 to 18). What are the differences between the 3 commands? Do they exactly do the same thing or give the identical output? Code:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/sam/floppy.image conv=notrunc |
You have given us a link to a thread with over 500 posts. Most of us don't have the time or inclination to read it all.
If something as trivial as "how to copy a floppy into a image file" is "unclear", perhaps you could answer your question yourself by doing some experiments. You already have the commands to try. Try those commands ( Hint: they won't work if your username isn't sam ). Test them. You'll learn that way. Is this "homework" ? |
