Also because this is at block level and not file level even if you use 1GB of a 100GB HDD and you want to copy to a 80GB HDD it will fail ;) For that you need a copy at file level or use the very smart Partimage ;) You failed to mention that the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb have to be the same size if not you will have to play with partitions after on /dev/sdb.
