Hello. I'm encountering an issue with dd in v0.6 and I was just wondering if it has been fixed since. Actually I believe it's something with the kernel because I downloaded the gnu-utils.dsl "busybox replacement" and still got the same error. Anyway, here's my command and the error message:
I'd just download it but I'm on modem so I want to know if it's worth the time. If someone could test it and let me know?
Thank you, The Lightning Stalkerwow...0.6? That was before my DSL time =o) There have been MANY improvements to DSL in general since then, but i don't know if dd was changed at all.
There is a semi-recent (v5.92, released November of last year) coreutils.uci in the mydsl repository which includes GNU dd, but the one in gnu-utils should still work.
In any case, maybe your command is incorrect. Maybe a dumb question, but does hdb actually exist?Thank you for helping me out, and yes, hdb is connected. What I'm doing is working on the hard drive from a TiVo. There are some other tools to view the funny partition table and they can read it just fine. Also the backup tool MFS Tools did a backup for me without a problem. I believe the problem to be in the kernel since both busybox and the latest dd from gnu-utils.dsl give the same error. Anyway I started downloading the latest version of DSL so we'll see if it works.Okay, I downloaded the latest version of DSL and guess what: SAME PROBLEM! It does it with both hard drives.
