It's on the other system I tried copying the 8G to a slightly large 9G partition -- that worked. On the source system I can copy 8G to another 8G partition. Just running them over rsh seems to be a problem. Same version of 'dd' on each side (SuSE 7.2).
Maybe I can fool ftp with symlinks tomorrow into doing the copy and see if that works. Just for fun I tried 'cat' as well -- same error -- out of space on target.
It transfers a lot of data -- right around 2G the first time I tried it, so it looked awfully suspicious.
