I use dd command to copy all system from hda1 to hdb1: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1
it works fine when I remove hda1 and reboot hdb1, the only question is: hda1 has only 2GB and hdb1 has 30GB, but after I use dd command, I found hdb1 also has only 2GB recogonized by linux system, how can I have all the rest of space when I use dd to clone system from small HD to large HD? Thanks.

Just copy all the directories from one disk to another. If you want to copy your linux distribution to another disk, mount the other disk, and copy all directories exept for the mount point (or that will copy the other disk to itself)
