i have a full 3 gig harddrive and i wanna put in a 15 gig to replace it
the 3 gig is dedicated to /usr only, and after moving the data over to
the new 15 gig, i'm gonna remove it permanantly. i wanna make 8 gig
outta the new 15 for /usr

can i just do this after putting in the 15 gig?

dd if=/dev/ad1 of=/dev/ad0 bs=8568

or should i create slices first THEN use dd??
also.. if this DOES work.. does the source and dest devices have to be
the same size?

thanks
nathan
