Does it matter if a partition is a bit bigger or smaller, even if it is a diferent type? Linux doesn't care, it will work anyway. You can use the chance to change your partition types/sizes.
Well, Linux doesn't care when the partition is big enough - greater or equal to the size of filesystem. When the partition gets even a tiny bit smaller than the filesystem, you've got a problem, however you won't experience it until you fill up the disk. Once the disk is almost full, you'll get complaints about "attempt to access beyond end of device" or similar. And you end'up with corrupted filesystem....
That is true if you use dd - which the OP didn't. If you use a tarred filesystem it does not matter at all. The destination my be smaller, as long as it suffices. - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGNcLDtTMYHG2NR9URArIpAJ43yEzWOBsJaFR5jlhiNCOt928TlgCffTca iyLr/zIjzMgkoLrHY01VRVc= =rwN9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
