Dear Developers,
I found a tiny bug in the dd command of the coreutils package. I tested
it with dd version 6.1 and 7.1 too.
Unfortunately i don't have the chance to test the latest development
version.
Description:
---------------
When running the following command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=50
It gives a false result about the amount of datas that have been
transferred.
50+0 records in
50+0 records out
52428800 bytes (52 MB) copied, 0.274978 s, 191 MB/s
As you can see, the number of bytes are correct (52428800 bytes), but
the 52 MB is false. Listing the file with 'ls -lh' shows 50 MB too as
expected.
