I think you're misunderstanding. If you use dd to copy, the
filesystem will be copied too. You /must/ not put a filesystem on
the larger partition before dding over. If necessary, zero it out
first.
whether you zero the destination partition/disk isn't relevant, it
will simply be overwritten, byte for byte, with the source data
(perhaps leaving extraneous junk beyond that new filesystem that is
now inaccesible).
what *is* relevant is that i don't think karl understands how dd
works. and until he does, this conversation is never going to die.
