| |
With recent dd and 2.4.17rc1 an attempt to write (with DD) into a block-device yields EINVAL error.
Doing strace shows that it comes from ftruncate64() on the opened device.
Should there be some other error code ? EBLKDEV ? Or is the dd (4.0p) at fault, and it should either not ask for the ftruncate*() at all, or ignore its error ?
