| |
Hi !
I'm trying to backup a partition on an IDE drive which has an odd number of sectors (204939). With a stock open/read you cannot access the last sector, and that why I tried the BLKBSZSET ioctl to set the basic read block size to 512 bytes. I verified the writen value with BLKBSZGET ioctl, but I still cannot read this last sector !
I've tried also this: - FreeBSD : works but it don't want to port all my software to it - raw devices: can't read the last sector:
# raw /dev/raw1 /dev/hda2 # dd if=/dev/raw1 of=C bs=512 dd: reading `/dev/raw1': No such device or address 204938+0 records in 204938+0 records out
What can it do ? Wait for a patch in 2.5.xxx ?
TIA,
Ludovic Drolez.
