They will have the same size as what you make them. Dump/restore

I am not sure about /usr/compat/linux/proc but /dev and /proc are
created on the fly by the system:
Lines are added into /dev for each new device

when I started a migration to new HDD, according few how-tos, I got the
following warning:

When debugging dump/restore problems, it is always best to dump
to a file, and then restore from the file -- this allows you to
