I have to clone a linux drive to a smaller destination disk. By default Clonezilla will not let me do this.
This is how things look like now:
Source system:
/dev/sda1              72G   10G   58G  15% /
udev                  7.9G  4.0K  7.9G   1% /dev
tmpfs                 3.2G  332K  3.2G   1% /run
none                  5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                  7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /run/shm  
Destination system:
/dev/sda3                   912G   49G  817G   6% /
udev                        7.9G  4.0K  7.9G   1% /dev
tmpfs                       3.2G  332K  3.2G   1% /run
none                        5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                        7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /run/shm
/dev/sda2                    90M   24M   61M  29% /boot
/dev/sda6                   1.9G   35M  1.8G   2% /tmp  
The partition has a linux unstallation on it .Source drive is 3TB, destination drive is 1TB.
Therefore what I am going to do is to clone the partition sda1 from the source drive, and then restore it on the smaller disk in place of partition sda3.
What bothers me is , if I do it this way, will the restored system work normally and will it, for example start using /tmp the way it is used on the source system (eg., not using the odd 2GB tmp partition that it uses now) ? Will i need to edit /etc/fstab or the GRUB menu?
