SumnerWhenever I use the dd command, I think that it stands for "destroy disk". It helps me make sure that I'm careful, I guess. Does anyone else think this when you use dd? Or am I just weird?
@sumner definitely not weird, dd(1) has a nice, long history of being called the "disk destroyer" because specifying the wrong block device can lead to catastrophe. But so long as you verify the output of `blkid`, `lsblk`, `camcontrol devlist`, or `rmdisk -l` depending on your OS and of course, check `mount`, you'll be fine.
