I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 in a Virtual Machine (VMWare) on a Windows host. I am trying to zero out an entire SD card using dd. This is part of the process I use to release embedded Linux to the software group (SD card images compress much better when the empty FS data is all 0).
The command I am using is: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress and it completes successfully; I get the printout of records transferred, and a message saying no space left on device. If I then do a sudo cat /dev/sdc | hexdump to look at the disk contents though, the disk is still full of data and isn't zeroes (and not just at the end).
Do I have to specify the number of bytes of the SD card for it to work consistently? I don't have this issue every time I zero out an SD card.

Your question makes sense until “I don't have this issue every time I zero out an SD card.” I then wonder if I miss-read the start. Do you mean “I don't have this problem every time”?

I didn't actually know badblocks existed, which is a good thing to learn. Correct I don't have this issue every time. Today was the first time that it has been consistent. badblocks is slow, but if I am reading the output correctly (7234624 done, 39:10 elapsed. (0/0/2417408 errors)) it looks like my SD card might be toast (A different question implies the last number is corruptions), which is unfortunate since it was new less than a week ago. I guess I just got lucky since I have been burning new kernels on it for the past week and they all worked fine.

Yes it is probably lost, but before saying this try with another sd card or in another machine. RAM errors can cause this too, because it will compare a value stored in RAM with a value found in the sdcard. It may run almost eternally depending on the damage you are experiencing the command dmesg will show important informations too.

As said in the comments, the sdcard was with badblocks.
The solution I proposed was to run:
badblocks -t 0x0000 -sw /dev/sdc
CAUTION: this is data destructive like dd if=/dev/zero.

looking for errors is a decent idea, but fwiw this is a bit of a tautology. The last figure apparently shows when badblocks reads a sector and it does not match the value that badblocks just wrote to it.

use
sudo fdsik -l
and see result for example:
/dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk01
/dev/mmcblk02
it's maybe different in your output!
now you should use:
sudo dd bs=4M if=exmple.img of=**/dev/mmcblk0** conv=fsync status=progress

0/0/2417408 means no write errors, no read errors, but the data returned by 2417408 reads did not match the data that was written. But, that's what we already saw in the question :-).– sourcejedi

By that logic we did not need to run
badblocks. It was just another way to run the same test. But apart from that, the principle is good, I agree with the conclusion you reached.– sourcejedi

use
sudo fdsik -l
and see result for example:
/dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk01
/dev/mmcblk02
it's maybe different in your output!
now you should use:
sudo dd bs=4M if=exmple.img of=**/dev/mmcblk0** conv=fsync status=progress

Why are you reading from what looks like a filesystem image? What difference does theconvsetting do? Why do you think they're using the wrong device to write to?

Can you try the same with badblocks -t 0x0000 -sw /dev/sdc (dangerous, it will write zero data too)
– Luciano Andress Martini

Your question makes sense until “I don't have this issue every time I zero out an SD card.” I then wonder if I miss-read the start. Do you mean “I don't have this problem every time”?

I didn't actually know badblocks existed, which is a good thing to learn. Correct I don't have this issue every time. Today was the first time that it has been consistent. badblocks is slow, but if I am reading the output correctly (
7234624 done, 39:10 elapsed. (0/0/2417408 errors)) it looks like my SD card might be toast (A different question implies the last number is corruptions), which is unfortunate since it was new less than a week ago. I guess I just got lucky since I have been burning new kernels on it for the past week and they all worked fine.– Eskimoalva

Yes it is probably lost, but before saying this try with another sd card or in another machine. RAM errors can cause this too, because it will compare a value stored in RAM with a value found in the sdcard. It may run almost eternally depending on the damage you are experiencing the command dmesg will show important informations too.

I jsut got another new SD card and it appears to be working fine.
