Subject: Does dd truncate?
I am dealing with a bunch of xbox hard drives that I need to image from a single
drive. The data is only on the first 8 gigs of the drive to be copied over, but
the drive is 10 gigs total. Some of the drives that it will be copied to are 8
gigs and some 10.

so if I
$dd if=big of=small
then will dd just ignore the any data past the size of the smaller of the 2 drives?
