[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#588373: hal: hangs on drive zeroed with dd

[brian m. carlson]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.14-2
Severity: normal

Take an 8GB flash drive and run the following:

  lakeview no % sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M 
  dd: writing `/dev/sdb': No space left on device

Then sync the disk and read dmesg:
