As Volker posted since you don't even get a "records in" / "records out" from dd, it seems that it is the first block. You can verify with badblocks -c 1 -e 1 -o my_bad_blocks.txt if this is so. The mkswap -c command will identify and mark the badblock so that this is not used again for allocating data to it. -- Regards, Mick
