I use uSD card images in Beaglebone black SBCs and have recently needed to duplicate a working card (make a backup essentially).
GParted showed one working partition on the card, exactly as I expected. I used dd to make a .img file of that partition, then am using the USB Image Writer tool that's built into my arch variant to write this to a new card. And here's where it gets weird - dd copied the 3GiB partition just fine, but the Image writer is now writing a 16GB image file to the new card. Screenshots can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/6pkoxvX Can anyone explain this behaviour?
