Are you suggesting to use dd to write zero bytes or that bash should work in a similar way to dd? dd does not seem capable of actually doing a write of 0. If you use bs=0 then it gives an error code, if you use count=0 then it does nothing (like bash). Maybe this should be considered a bug in dd as well, but let's concentrate on bash for the moment. This isn't the type of issue that can be addressed with a one-word reply. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
