Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Shrink my partition to new disk Post 302461208 by amol28kulkarni on Saturday 9th of October 2010 04:14:37 AM

Thanks for the reply
Would it be efficient to copy entire data, is there any way to just copy over the blocks and adjust them according to the newly created filesystem ?
Would tar be able to handle the corrupted data like dd can handle since dd does a blind copy. Is there a way of like creating another sparse image file of 2TB then copying over only required data blocks there which will exclude the empty blocks and then resizing the sparse image to 200GB.
