           Summary: dd gets stuck on bad sectors
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at busybox.net
        ReportedBy: j_laird at bigpond.net.au
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


busybox dd does not force seek past bad blocks when using conv=sync,noerror (as
for example GNU dd does); this appears to cause it to try and read bad sectors
in an infinite loop when imaging faulty hard drives, while continuing to write
out zero blocks to the output file (breaking sync and never terminating).
