	You really should only use dd to duplicate physically identical
drives.  In your case, even though the drive is 1G, you've copied a
filesystem which thinks it resides on a 604M device.  You might be able
to use one of the ext2 editors and increase the size of the filesystem.
A much better solution would be to use a program like dump or tar to
move the information over.
