OK...
- While booted into SL
- I restored my SL volume
- From a 25Gb volume to a 200Gb volume
- With the "Erase..." box checked (Since it's checked by default, my earlier "Restores" were done with it checked [but to a smaller volume].)
But were you booted from the volume you were restoring from? Because if that's the case, as I mentioned above, you won't get a block-level copy.
From
man asr:
restore restores a disk image or volume to another volume
(including a mounted disk image)
--source can be a disk image, /dev entry, or
volume mountpoint. In the latter two cases,
the volume must be unmountable or mounted read-only
in order for a erase blockcopy to occur (thus, one
cannot erase blockcopy the root filesystem as the
source, unless it happened to be mounted read-only).
