It will, I've done it myself. The main disadvantages are that you can |
| 9 |
only resize the last partition,and it is very slow (because dd copies |
| 10 |
every byte of the source drive, not jut the ones in use). Although I have |
| 11 |
used this method, I wouldn't do it again, I'd set up the partitions, |
| 12 |
copy with rsync and run grub to install it on the new drive. |
