Is this what you > want? :-) (The default bs is 512 bytes, and skip is measured in bs.) Sorry; the man page for dd is ambiguous: Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected. If the number ends with a ``b'', ``k'', ``m'' or ``w'', the number is multiplied by 512, 1024 (1K), 1048576 (1M) or the number of bytes in an integer, re- spectively. and it has been a long time since I've had to do this for an OPUS (or 3B1 or 3B2) disk.
