Bug Description

The recent change to enable adjusting volume dd blocksize to sizes other than 1M does not adjust the "count" parameter of the dd command. Therefore, if you change volume_dd_blocksize to (for example) "1K", for a 1GB volume, only the first 1 MB of the volume will be copied/wiped.

The "count" parameter for dd needs to scale based on what the volume_dd_blocksize option is set to to ensure the whole volume is copied/wiped.

    Calculate count for customized dd blocksize

    In previous commit we introduce a configurable blocksize option for
    'dd' command, however the 'count' value wasn't updated accordingly.
    As a result, count could be too small which is bug. This patch
    introduce a private method to 1) validate custom dd blocksize; 2)
    calculate correct count value.

    Fix bug: 1192258
