Ok, that was probably a bit short but I don't know the ins and outs of
dd and there is probably a better way to use it in your situation. I
have used
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
to clone a system from a larger to a smaller drive. I did get an out
of space error and not all "records" were copied (seems empty space is
a "record") but all my data was transfered and the cloned system has
been working just fine for months.
