I’m not coming up with a lot of useful (clear) results when searching for a solution to this issue.
Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?
A bit more context: I had to clone a 16GB eMMC and only had a 128GB SD around. Now I purchased a 32GB eMMC and want to clone it again. The partition holds a root filesystem for an ARMv8 device. I don’t have the 16GB eMMC anymore, that would have been the easy way out.
@InFerNo if it’s not a boot drive, you can use gparted to copy the partition over - it’s copy and paste, literally. Then set flags using gparted as well. If it’s a boot drive you’ll need an additional step after to use boot-repair to fix the boot sector and load grub onto it.
It’s really simpler than it sounds, I’ve used it a few times myself. You can also use an #Ubuntu iso to execute this process after booting from it to ensure the 16GB partition is not in use when trying to copy it.
