Re: Very odd HDD problem
The dd copy method copied the filesystem directly, including its filesystem size data. Thus, you've got a tiny filesystem rattling around in a much larger partition. If it's ext2/3/4fs, the solution is fairly easy:
Code:
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdb1
Similar resizing operations are possible with other filesystems, but details of how to do it differ. Post back with the information on what filesystem type you're using if you need help.
If I've suggested a solution to a problem and you're not the original poster, do not try my solution! Problems can seem similar but be different, and a good solution to one problem can make another worse. Post a new thread with your problem details.
