"And what about dd if=/dev/partition of=/new/partition ?" That will work, but you will end up with the destination being exactly the same size as the source. If you are trying to move it to a larger partition, you will have defeated the purpose. Wayner's suggestion is the same method I recently used to accomplish the same task and it did indeed work. DD took me down the garden path. Regards, Marshall -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
