PROBLEM: (QAR 47063) (Patch ID: OSF410-400211-1) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which the dd command can corrupt output on very large files (2 GB or greater) when the "conv=sparse" option is used. In some cases a seek error is reported: dd seek error: Invalid argument In other cases a corrupt file is created with no error reported. PROBLEM: (MCGMC0HSG,QAR 58775) (Patch ID: OSF410-405195) ******* This patch fixes a problem that occurs with the dd command. When the seek option to the dd command is used to insert data into an existing output file, the resulting file is incorrect and all of the original data is lost. PROBLEM: (HPAQ60QV9) (Patch ID: OSF410-405353) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the dd command in which dd aborts after a read error. This problem occurs even when the "conv=noerror" parameter is specified. The XPG4 standard specifies that an "indeterminate read" should be skipped (not written), and then after stats are reported, the read/write behavior should be continued.
