I have been trying to make a dd copy :

but image took all my free diskspace (406GB), and terminated, eventhough
my hdd is 320GB
dd doesn't read full blocks by default,
so one has to be careful when reading from pipes.

Does adding "iflag=fullblock" to the second dd fix things?
Since you're not specifying a count, just removing the
"sync" option from the second dd is equivalent.
With no further comments in 8 years, I'm closing this item.
