no, infact it really makes it using blocks of 4k (a PIPE_SIZE is 4k), so it is really equivalent to bs=4k. dd doesn't re-join blocks when they are smaller then bs=, unless you specify obs=32k.
I have been playing with buffer recently and mixed up both. buffer is really a nice tool.
But as I said, as long as you don't play with non-fixed block size you don't have problems.
sorry for mixup. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
