Original post:

OpenBSD 3.8:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd0c bs=1024k

6MB/s

Linux 2.4:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024k

53MB/S

Any clue about the difference? Of course I’m also interested in different ways to do this but the difference is what puzzles me.

And one of the replies:

They have a superior /dev/zero
:D
