Why dd output file is bigger then the original input
If I clone a disk to disk like this:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
The second disk will contain the data of the first disk without any space
issue, but when I create an image of /dev/sda, say it has capacity of
10GB, the result file will be in my case ~48GB. Now my question is why
cloned disk to image has a bigger length, while cloned disk to disk having
same capacity won't produce space issue?
