Bravo. I'm horrified reading recommendations to use dd for cloning files on storage devices. dd copies fragmented files as is so you are messing new drive for performance issues from the get go.

Yes, this is true. But, if you copy the partitions with cp, rsync or whatever, you get a more efficient file system, but grub will not be able to immediately load the kernel. You then have to re-run grub to link to where the kernel is now placed in the file system. This is doable, but a bit complicated.
