I am surprised to read that DD could have a failure.
I don't want to claim that `dd` is the culprit. Maybe the USB stick is
faulty. Or the combination “`dd` + USB stick” doesn't work well. I don't
know.
I also tested “burning” an ISO image onto a USB stick with other
programs. Surprisingly, `pv` worked flawlessly with USB sticks where
`dd` failed. So, maybe `dd` is in fact the culprit and (for an old tool)
not ready for modern media like USB sticks. Maybe it does something
different from `pv` but I didn't compare the sources yet.
However, even if the USB stick is fine with a verified ISO image on it,
some of my USB sticks seem to produce bit flips after a couple of weeks.
So, `ddpolymerase` is still useful when you want to rewrite the ISO
image since it saves write cycles.
