Hi,
i have uploaded a little gz compressed tarball
http://scdbackup.webframe.org/block_seq.tgz
containing
-rwxr-xr-x thomas/thomas 4552 2017-03-21 09:23 block_seq
-rw-r--r-- thomas/thomas 315 2017-03-21 09:22 block_seq.c
To be unpacked in a suitable directory by
tar xvzf block_seq.tgz
The binary "block_seq" was compiled on Debian Jessie.
If it does not run, do
cc -o block_seq block_seq.c
to get a locally compiled binary.
When Martin posted his MBR binary, the test stick shall be composed by:
dd if=martins_mbr.bin bs=1 count=432 of=/dev/sdc
dd if=debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso bs=1 count=80 seek=432 of=/dev/sdc
./block_seq | dd bs=512 skip=1 count=1325055 seek=1 of=/dev/sdc
You will have to copy the screen output by hand or by photo camera.
The hopefully lengish hex output of the block content can be truncated
to 4 bytes, if all groups of 4 bytes are the same. If you see a change
in the 4 byte pattern in the reported text, then all different groups
of 4 bytes are of interest.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
