Beso, |

the block size in the filesystem is 4k, this I know having formatted a |
| 14 |
second HD with same sized partition as failed HD. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I don't know how much data I should tell dd to skip (and NULL=fill) in |
| 17 |
case of read error. From the dd output I only know there is a read error |
| 18 |
and only 32kbyte were transferred, but I have no idea how big was the |
| 19 |
block of data dd was trying to access. |

But probably, as Duncan suggests, this is not important. dd will try to |
| 22 |
access a block size as specified on the command line, and if error |
| 23 |
occurs it will zero-fill and jump to next block of data, but this size |
| 24 |
it totally unrelated with the _filesystem_ block size. |
