1 I'm cloning a windows disk using gentoo;
2
3 On the old 66GB disk;
4 # dd if=/dev/sdb of=/root/winmbr.bin bs=512 count=1
5 # dd if=/dev/sdb1 bs=10M | gzip -v > winpartition.gz
6
7 Then after swapping in the new 500GB disk;
8 dd if=/root/winmbr.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
9 # gunzip -c winpartition.gz | dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=10M
10 dd: writing `/dev/sdb1': No space left on device
11 0+306 records in
12 0+305 records out
13 10137600 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0.109885 s, 92.3 MB/s
14 # fdisk -l /dev/sdb

26 Why is dd saying no space left after copying 10MB when sdb1 is 65GB?
