Quoting "Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak" <mjc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hi all,
Is there an easy way to transfer a system from one drive (holding
boot, swap, lvm partitions, in the default F11 layout) to a
different hard drive, if the new drive is smaller?
If the new drive is larger, dd could be used in a fairly straightforward way.
However, I want to try replacing a 160 GB hard drive with an Intel
80 GB solid-state drive, just for fun...
I suspect a re-install might be easier.

I would think you would need to do a lvreduce and possibly a vgreduce
to get the data portion of the drive under 80GB. From there I think a
'dd' would work just fine.
Part-image, as someone else suggested, is also a good choice. It only
copies the data portions of the drive leaving the free blocks alone.
So it only copies those blocks that have data.
