Well, I only wanted to copy the used part of the drive which I try to keep small so I can still copy the image to an mSD card if I wish. So I have to supply the amount of the drive to copy. The bs=512 went fast enough, but then I was only copying 3.2GB.
thanks for the help.
personally, I would use 'dump' for ext? file systems, and xfsdump for XFS. this *just* backs up the inodes and directories, not raw blocks
