It seems that the only way to get an accurate byte count in order to use a larger than default bs is to dd to of=/dev/null and then play factoring games. Such a slow process. Apologies for the noise - I mainly grab data and rarely have to re-create disk duplicates. No doubt this shows.... regards Neil -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Neil J Long, Computing Services, University of Oxford 13 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6NN, UK Tel:+44 1865 273232 Fax:+44 1865 273275 EMail: Neil.Long@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk PGP: ID 0xE88EF71F OxCERT: oxcertat_private PGP: ID 0x9FF898D5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
