Hello gabriel, gl> I has assembled this script from others i has found on Internet.

Should check the surface of new disk? How is it done?
I did something similar like this... but for backup-disk same size as
original one.
Switch to runlevel 1 so that the disk usage is near-to-none and there
are only the necessary few processes running.
Do
swapoff /dev/hda3
umount /boot
mount -o remount,ro /
(if that fails, not too bad)
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=4096
(might take some time :-)
mount -o remount,rw /
init 0
Then hang the second disk in place of the first one, it should
run out-of-the-box. Could be it needs an ext2fschk on the first
boot, but not more than that for us.
