Writing a .dd.bz2 Image Directly to Media

Here’s a tip that I used just about everyday at work.  We usually compress our .dd images down using bzip2 and it can be a hassle having to uncompress and then dd the image to the SD card or other media.  Instead, why not do it all in one swift command with bz2cat?

bz2cat path/to/the/filename.dd.bz2 | dd of=/dev/sdb
