No uname; on installer shell
>Description:
I am using the shell provided by the installer. I'm not sure if the bug is
present elsewhere, but my guess is yes so I did categorize this as an installer
bug. This is a 64 bit intel xeon e3 cpu.
I have a picture from my KVM session here:
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2qx19o8&s=6
If you notice, I try to use a 4096m blocksize and it informs me that this is 1
byte too large. If you don't want to look at the picture or the picture is no
longer available, to reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0d bs=4096m progress=1
dd: block size 4294967296 is greater than 4294967295
.. a perfectly resonable error... however, any larger and:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0d bs=4095m progress=1
dd: /dev/rwd0d: Invalid Argument
And, I tried again with a more reasonable block size to proove I did not detach
or do anything to cause rwd0d to become invalid
>How-To-Repeat:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0d bs=4095m progress=1
dd: /dev/rwd0d: Invalid Argument
