Can dd seek on a loop device?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I thought I'd try to be clever and see if I could wipe a drive via an encrypted loop in stages with dd by doing one section, then seeking to the end of that and doing another section, and so on until I get "no room on device".

But can dd seek on a loop device?
