Hello!

I have a problem with the dd command on n900. I've done this before on ubuntu, but I thought it would be nice to be able to do programming with this phone too.

I've been trying to write my own binary file to floppy disk image with this command:

Code:
dd if=file.bin of=file.img bs=720k conv=notrunc
It seems that the conv=notrunc argument is not valid on n900. Am I doing something wrong or is there just no such feature in n900 dd. If the feature does not exist could anyone suggest some other way to directly overwrite files in this manner.

Are you using busybox, busybox-power or any of the bash shells?

At least in busybox-power the conv=notrunc symbol is a valid argument for dd.
