1 Hi group,
2
3 I moved a partition(about 60G) from one drive to
4 another, slightly larger, using:
5
6 dd if=/dev/hdc4 of=/dev/hdc6 bs=32k
7
8 When the operation completed this appeared:
9
10 904017 +1 records in
11 1904017 record out
12
13 numbers which are precisely 999,999 apart. What is
14 that all about?
15
16 Followed by this:
17
18 display all 902 possibilities (y or n)
19
20 y
21
22 and the screen filled up with an alphabetical list of
23 executable programs like ls, something-something.sh
24 etc. Which is strange because it was /home and
25 contained no files like that.
26
27 Google doesn't know, anybody here know?
28
29 Just curious, doesn't seemt to be anything the matter
30 with the new partition.
