Ok, I was too general in order to keep it as simple as possible.
Correct that if you are copying 10 gigs onto 30 gigs that it will only
overwrite 10 gigs, not the entire 30 gigs. The remainder will be
unused space. You do not have to zero it first, but I agree it is
certainly a good practice.

You may have to zero if there's a filesystem already there. I think
it's always a good idea, and it can't hurt.
