QUESTION
I am trying to trying to create a disk image of my Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+ onto a USB drive using dd. I know there are easier ways to do this on a Raspberry Pi, but I want to try this to test the procedure on a 'sacrificial' system, which I hope to then use on another linux computer running a much larger Ubuntu disk to create a backup. OS is Raspbian Buster 10.
I have been following a procedure I found on an article here: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/easily-clone-restore-linux-disk-image-dd/
The USB drive has 64GB capacity and has been formatted, initially as exFAT but I also tried NTFS thinking maybe that was the issue. The command ended with the same error, however each time i have tried this the file size transferred has been different, varying from 2-8GB in size before the error occurred.
This is to identify my drives - the SD card is "mmcblk" and my USB drive is "sda", called "NINJA":

is not mounted in /media/pi/NINJA/
, the image you create is therefore stored on the mmcblk0p2
partition.
Since mmcblk0
is by definition larger than mmcblk0p2
, you logically run out of space on it.
You need to first mount sda1
using sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/pi/NINJA/
and try your dd command again after.
