I expect the problem is using 'dd' for the copying may not get the

up seeing it as LDL and gets things misaligned.
No, that shouldn't happen if they're using dd against the whole volume device
node, such as /dev/dasda. If they're doing it against a partition at a time
(/dev/dasda1), that should work also, since they'd need to have created the
partitions on the target volume to be able to copy them over.
Done carefully, one can resize partitions copying with dd.
