...partition device to a file on the 100GB space. You'd also probably want to get the Master Boot Record by grabbing the first 2K of the raw boot device into a separate file... i.e. something like: dd bs=512 if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/u/backup/jessie_sda1 dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/u/backup/jessie_mbr_sda The device names might be different - the mount folder may be different - etc... But the idea works. - With a new, blank drive, you could recreate the partitions using fdisk, reverse the dd commands, boot and then work on getting the second partition back up and running. -- Larry Irwin On 07/...
