There was a ‘create the distro’ step of the pipeline
which gathered the input,
followed by a loop that used ‘dd’ to block the stream into media-sized parts.
If you were taking a stream and breaking it up arbitrarily with dd, does that imply that
filesystem data defining the contents were isolated to the first volume (or however many
it took to describe the contents)? Or is there something you could do with dd in that
circumstance to amount to more than just bytes in bytes out to prop up a filesystem
superblock on each individual volume? Granted, I don't have a lot of experience in
this area, so I could be comparing apples to your oranges for all I know.
