I have no idea what bottom posting is, mailing lists are new to me and I find them a very archaic and noisy way to communicate development changes. I really wish the Cygwin dev team would enter the 21st century and move to a modern development process involving a repository like Github, I'm convinced it would increase developer engagement with the project massively while cutting down on so much of the noise.

I ran:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/SDA bs=4m oflag=direct status=progress

...and can confirm the bug still presents - the last 48 sectors fail to be wiped.

Subject: Re: [cygwin] DD bug fails to wipe last 48 sectors of a disk

Greetings, Hashim Aziz!

Bottom posting in this channel, please.

> I've just tested with the command:

> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda iflag=fullblock bs=4M status=progress

oflag=direct

Although I'm unsure how Cygwin/Windows handles it. But without this flag, the
write is cached, and the problem may be outside dd, or even Cygwin.
