#10 failed to create expected hash log
using the command line:
./dc3dd if=/dev/sdb ofs=junk.000 ofsz=10000K hash=md5 log=logfile hlog=hashlog
reading the documentation, one assumes that a hash file with segment hashes should be created by virtue of the hlog option.
however, only the final hash is created.
in order to get segmented hashes, the hofs= option needs to be used, but we don't need to validate the segments. just want segmented values of the first output calculation to the hashlog.
Discussion
logfile of "hashes"
Agreed, we should probably either change this behavior, not allow the options in that combination, or document what actually happens. Looking at this.
