Bug#483830: (no subject)

[Xavier Douville <debian@douville.org>]

Hi

I have not been able to reproduce this bug, at least not with 2.6.26
(which is also the kernel used by Fedora Core 9)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/bigfile bs=1M

This process ends after filling the 2GB loop device on my laptop (Debian
testing)

ctrl+C does take 15 sec but I am not sure if it's a bug. It's instant
when not doing the command as root.

I don't have root access on FC9 machines here so I can't compare it.

iostat returns a valid speed (arround 20 MiB/s)
