That was not obvious in the thread(s) that you started on this issue.
Am I the only one that missed the change of trying to copy the first
10 gig of a 30 gig onto a new 10 gig partition?

Again, that was not the thread you started on this.  You wanted to
copy 10 of a 30 gig partition from /dev/sda6 to a 10 gig partition on
/dev/sdb5.

What are you ACTUALLY trying to do?  Are you now trying to copy an
entire physical drive to a new physical drive?  What is the size of
the source drive?  The size of the destination drive?

Start a thread and stick to it.  And if you decide to abandon a
particular approach and undertake a different one, please be so kind
as to post this fact so people can re-align their advice accordingly.

You have the knack to bit the hand that feeds you...  I'm a patient
and tolerant individual and strive to maintain respect in my postings.
 I ask no less from others.
