Yup, `dd` helps in a lot of situations when you need portability, not just this one.
Commands like `cp --sparse=always` aren't worth such a blanket disrecommendation though; if you are working directly at a console as opposed to scripting you typically don't need portability.

- jhugo 4y agoThen you obviously can't use this, but many people reading my suggestion can.
