Speed Up Ubuntu Deployment

[Joel Bryan Juliano]

I'm using the old deployment trick, "dd", but It takes 4500+ seconds to
finish. Is there a way to make dd copy much faster?

I use # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=2M, I like to try setting 2M to higher
values, would it change the speed of copying the whole hard drive?

Regards,
Joel
