Why via dd?   Why not just rsync from one system to the other?

That's how we do our backups and restores, regardless of disk sizes.

&gt; Hi Charles,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; HAMMER supports multi-volume filesystems. This means you can add/delet=
et<br>
&gt; volumes with the directives specified in HAMMER(8) manpage.<br>
&gt; That said, I would like to point out that it has not been widely teste=
d as<br>
&gt; far as I know so I would be careful with it.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; What are you trying to dd exactly? Another HAMMER filesystem which res=
ides<br>
&gt; on a smaller disk to a bigger one?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Cheers,<br>
&gt; Antonio Huete<br>

&gt;&gt; Hello,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; How do you resize a HAMMER partition ? There is usually a command<=
br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;grow_&quot; or &quot;resize_&quot; to extend and sometimes s=
hrink the filesystem,<br>
&gt;&gt; but I can&#39;t find it in HAMMER.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I need to hard copy a disk with &quot;dd&quot;, and I&#39;d like t=
o create the<br>
&gt;&gt; hammer filesystem very tiny at first, then grow it to take all the=
<br>
&gt;&gt; disk.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Regards<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
Let imagine you have dragonfly installed on a 250 Gb disk, and you<br>
want to move it to a 500 Gb disk without reinstalling, how could you<br>
dump your existing disk and grow the HAMMER partition ?<br>
<br>
I need this to install the system from a virtual machine to a remote<br>
host, using DD (Already did it for OpenBSD and NetBSD and I would like<br>
to do it with DragonFly so at least, we could install DragonFly on<br>
dedicated servers).<br>
