OK, before you waste any time trying to answer that question, I got
the answer the old fashioned way, from technical specs of the Maxtor
web site.
It turns out that both drives have the same block size, and I am
limiting dd to the block count of the number of blocks used by the
source drive (since that partition is larger than the destination
partition, but the destination partition has enough blocks to cover
the used blocks of the source partition).
root# df --block-size=512
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 30672400 11522232 19150168 38% /c
/dev/hdb2 30702304 11818352 18883952 39% /old/c
root# nice dd bs=512 if=/dev/hdb2 of=/dev/hda2 count=11818352
I hope that this will get the mystery bits that Erik says
Microsoft puts on the end of their drives.
John
