Why? I'm curious. I can make a guess, but I'm not sure, it is not mentioned in the manual:
noerror
continue after read errors
sync pad every input block with NULs to ibs-size; when used
with block or unblock, pad with spaces rather than NULs
Do you mean, that without "sync", the output would just skip the remaining bytes of a block after an error, meaning the output would simply be "smaller", with pieces missing?
Because, as Sid did an 'xfs_repair' on the result, it means either there was no error, or that the gaps were filled :-?

Please note, never use noerror without also using sync.
