Hi Stephen,
thank you for your reply.
======
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{ARCH}\n" |
grep coreutils
policycoreutils-1.33.12.x86_64
policycoreutils-newrole-1.33.12.x86_64
coreutils-5.97.x86_64
policycoreutils-gui-1.33.12.x86_64
=====
And obviously
================
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# arch
x86_64
===============
The result is prety same as I shown earlier.
And the same I see at CERN
=======================
[lxplus427] /afs/cern.ch/user/s/shevel > dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testx64
bs=3GB count=1
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
2147479552 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 5.91242 seconds, 363 MB/s
[lxplus427] /afs/cern.ch/user/s/shevel > rpm -q --file /bin/dd
coreutils-5.97-34.el5
[lxplus427] /afs/cern.ch/user/s/shevel > rpm -qa --queryformat
"%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{ARCH}\n" | grep coreutil
policycoreutils-1.33.12.x86_64
coreutils-5.97.x86_64
policycoreutils-gui-1.33.12.x86_64
===========================
As far as I understand the main question is "is there 64 bit dd version
which can operate more then 2GB value for BS in SL anyway?"
Any answer (yes or no) is good to know.
Many thanks,
Andrey
