Why does dd not copy the whole optical media like it does hard drives?
I was making backups of some optical disks I have, and something I noticed is that dd doesn't copy the entire disk. For example, cds are roughly 768MB, but dd doesn't give me 768MB ISOs when it's done.
I don't think anything is necessarily wrong because when I did an md5sum on the device, I still get the same checksum value on the device as I do on the ISO file created by dd, but it was something that peaked my curiosity.
