Hi, I read the low level format of Hard Disk in the FreeBSD installation guide. The author use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 count=100 I have a question, why count=100? I use man dd, the manual says that count=n means Copy only n input blocks. If I use HD whose size more than the example one in the book. Do I still use count=100? Thanks, guys and gals Lei ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
