Tool to flash image files to block devices using the block map | |
bmaptool is a generic tool for creating the block map (bmap) | |
for a file, and copying files using the block map. The idea is | |
that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system | |
image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with | |
bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp". | |
