    Use iflag=fullblock in dd when copying the image · 36893943

    When copying the image data to the VM's hard disk, use iflag=fullblock
    to accumulate full blocks of input. Without this flag, dd will write
    the read data whenever read() syscall returns, without waiting to gather
    enough data to create a bs-sized block. This may lead to unoptimized
    performance.
