More disk copy questions..
Can you copy an entire disk using the UNIX dd command from a smaller
disc to
a larger one and retain the capacity of the larger drive?
i.e. maybe create a partition on the larger drive which matches the smaller
drive?
Not without other tools, at least on any OS I work with. dd
overwrites the filesystem's index, superblock, etc, so even if the
partition is bigger than the filesystem, you can't use it.
