I am copying a disk/partition to another disk/partition using dd, with the following: BEFORE: Disk1: partition#1: psize=100G, size=97.65G, used=91.23G, unused=6.42G Disk2: partition#1: psize=250G, size=244.14G (newly formatted) I did a dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 AFTER: Disk1: partition#1: psize=100G, size=97.65G, used=91.23G, unused=6.42G Disk2: partition#1: psize=250G, size=244.14G, used=237.72G, unused=6.42G WTF... Then I: 1) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt 2) cd /mnt/b 3) df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 97G 90G 1.6G 99% /mnt/b 4) umount /mnt 5) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt 6) cd /mnt 7) df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 97G 90G 1.6G 99% /mnt/b 8) Umount /mnt Hmm... this is not what I expected... I had assumed that somehow the free disk space would somehow be reclaimed... What am I doing wrong here and how do I get around this? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
