Re: LABEL's

<snip>
I think dd will
work fine IFF the partition your sending data to is larger than the one
it is coming from, and you do NOT put a file system in the destination
partition.

So many threads started for the exact same issue....

Your first part is correct. You can dd a smaller partition onto an
equal or larger one.

Your second part is incorrect. It does not matter if there is a file
system or not (ANY file system) when copying from device/partition to
device/partition (i.e. if=/dev/???? and of=/dev/????). dd OVERWRITES
EVERYTHING. If the source had a file system, then the destination
will have that file system because ... dd copied EVERYTHING (even the
file system attributes).
