Here is what I did this time. /dev/sda6 which is this computer has
5098 cylinders of space (the hard drives are identical) and the other
has 5100 cylinders. So it is just a bit larger than the source
partition. This will finish in good time and then I will use fsck to see
if the transfered file system is good. Last time I mounted the new
partition to this computer and it looked so good I was sure it was
perfect. Alas the LABEL problems and many others kept me busy doing
stupid things.
This time I know much more 8-)

Ok, that should work fine. I don't use labels but it makes sense what
was previously explained. Where dd does an exact copy, that means the
label on both drives is the same. So if you have both drives
connected at the same time it would cause problems seeing they have
the exact same label. Hence why tune2fs was suggested to change the
label of one of the drives (with only one connected of course - once
the label is changed then you should be able to fire up the computer
with both drives connected).
