I was trying to create bootable USB of Ubuntu 17.04. First, I erased everything from the pen drive and then started to copy using sudo dd if=path_to_ubuntu_image of=/dev/rdisk2
but it is taking around 5 hrs to complete the process. I read previous answers about speeding up it using rdisk
instead of disk
but I was initially using that only. There was to use bs
but I have doubt will it bring some change in the bootable image while copying ? Please help.
Size of Ubuntu - 1.63GB
I am using the latest version of macOS High Sierra.
Link of webpage whom steps I was following - http://courses.cms.caltech.edu/cs171/materials/pdfs/How_to_Dual-Boot_OSX_and_Ubuntu.pdf
bs=4096
is a good option. See this link, My standard dd block size is bs=4096
