Did anybody bother to do an 'strace' on dd to find out what's really
happening?
2 minutes with strace will verify whether this is a kernel or an application
issue and then you can go and debug it. Please don't hit the mailing list
until you are sure it is a kernel issue AND you've reached the limit of
your debugging skills.
