From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you tried looking at the disk with gparted?
Created a 2tb partition with gparted now writing to failure with dd. Up to 41gb so far.
Sounds like that drive is gone. I’m betting it has dead blocks/sectors
Now the 2TB drive has received 88GB so far - the write continues.
Keep us posted.
The DD continues now at 170Gb of 1024 - a long way to go... 25mb / s
That’s awesome, sounds like hearted may have saved your drive useability.
Well that is a good sign then. You have definitely broken that 5gb issue. Did you happen to notice if there was. Hidden petition on there?
I did not see any. Gparted would have shown them to me, right?
Kinda depends on the software used to format the drive originally iirc
