And yet more:
I started 2.3.42 without a disk in the ZIP drive (/dev/hdd). I unmounted /home (on /dev/hdc3). I ran dd before and after putting a disk in the drive and mounting it:
Before $ dd ibs=4096 obs=4096 if=/dev/hdc3 of=/dev/null 524287+0 records in 524287+0 records out
After $ dd ibs=4096 obs=4096 if=/dev/hdc3 of=/dev/null 1547910+0 records in 1547910+0 records out
This is passing strange. Without having read the partition table on the ZIP, it will stop silently after something more than 2 GB, having read it it will read the whole 6 GB.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Luca
