dd: writing `/dev/sdc': No space left on device

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Is that message normal? When I hold menu and - the appletv displays the
usual logo and goes to the recovery mode i.e. does not boot from usb. I
wondered if the problem is caused by this message which is the only unusual
thing I observed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow instructions
http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/LinuxUSBPenBoot
2. at the point where one issues sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4096
count=1M
the error "dd: writing `/dev/sdc': No space left on device" is displayed.

What is the expected output? Unsure 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Ubuntu
Jaunty

Please provide any additional information below.

The usb drive is a 2Gb Hisun thumb drive 

coops@living-room2:~$ sudo parted -s /dev/sdc unit s print
Model: Hisun USB 2.0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 4127224s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

that message is normal from dd, it means dd has written all it can (4096 bytes 
* 1 million )
