At the very least, you need 'bs=2048 count="$(($(isosize /dev/cdrom) / 2048))"' with that, or you wind up doing md5sum on completely bogus data with some media. But as it turns out, that fails the exact same way that mediacheck does. > I really never understood why there never has been any trivial > work-around on the FC images for this very annoying problem. dd does read(2) just like mediacheck does. There isn't some spooky magic here. It fails in exactly the same ways for exactly the same reasons. -- Peter -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
