Sorry, I forgpt to add this,
I the answer is yes to the first question (original question), then, what
happens if one 'dd's a small, say 36 GM disk to a larger one, say 73 GB. Can
the newly made disk be resized so as not to loose 1/2 of it?

Subject: dd - cloning a disk.
Hi all,
Here is a simple (I think!) question for the I/O savy among you:
If I had two identical disks, say, 73 GB Seagate 10K SCSIs, one completely
operational fully setup FreeBSD with all the trimmings, and the other
blank, or perhaps loaded but no longer usable, is 'dd' and appropriate
tool to completely clone the Good disk to the not so good disk....therefor
making the second disk identical to the first? Bootable and all?
-Grant
