So if /dev/mmcblk0 is a 16GB SD card, but I'm only using 1GB for the two partitions, the 'bs' and 'count' options in dd allow me to make an image that's only 1GB. If I use gzip to to make a compressed image of /dev/mmcblk0, all the empty space after 1GB will compress down to virtually nothing, but what will happen if I try to decompress that image onto an SD card that's smaller the 16GB? Is there a way, or a need, to limit the scope of the original image using something like the 'bs' and 'count' options?
