Well the behavior is expected and documented:

‘bs=BYTES’
      Set both input and output block sizes to BYTES.  This makes ‘dd’
      read and write BYTES per block, overriding any ‘ibs’ and ‘obs’
      settings.  In addition, if no data-transforming ‘conv’ operand is
      specified, input is copied to the output as soon as it’s read, even
      if it is smaller than the block size.

For details please see https://bugs.gnu.org/8171

thanks,
Pádraig.

    <p>Hi all,</p>
    <p>It seems an instance of `dd`=C2=A0 with only an output file doesn'=
t
      report the count of records accurately despite bs=3D being describe=
d
      as influencing both ibs=3D and obs=3D</p>
    <p>dd'ing from an unstable remote over ssh today I had it continue
      from the last received block between crashes in preparation for a
      P2V. The remote had bs=3D1M set with its in=3Ddevice and the local
      instance had bs=3D1M too with the destination of=3D device but upon=

      referring to the receiving end's stable count of records I noticed
      it ignored my bs=3D1M setting. This were worked around using obs=3D=
1M
      to make the counter show a value I could reliable skip=3D/seek=3D w=
ith
      to resume.</p>
    <p>I have an example here:</p>
    <blockquote>
      <p><i>$ dd if=3D/dev/zero bs=3D1M count=3D1 | dd bs=3D1M of=3D/dev/=
null<br>
          1+0 records in<br>
          1+0 records out<br>
          1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.0010021 s, 1.0 GB/s<b=
r>
          <b>0+16 records in<br>
            0+16 records out</b><br>
          1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.000771722 s, 1.4
          GB/s</i></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>This is being experienced on Archlinux with kernel '6.6.4' and
      package 'core/coreutils 9.4-2'</p>
    <p>dd's man page for this distribution shows:</p>
    <blockquote>
      <p><i>bs=3DBYTES<br>
          =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=
=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 read and write up to BYTES bytes at a time
          (default: 512); overrides ibs and obs</i></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>So I feel it not overriding obs=3D when invoked with only of=3D an=
d
      bs=3D arguments could be a bug.</p>
    <p>Running a single dd with <i>if=3Dsource of=3Ddest bs=3D1M</i> work=
s as
      intended.</p>
    <p>While in my case this isn't a fatal bug working with virtual
      block devices it could be problematic for use cases which require
      a proper treatment of block sizes such as tape devices.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Best regards,<br>
      Jared<br>
