[Gllug] Partition Images

[t.clarke]

I have not tried it on linux, but on Unix we use dd to copy an entire
filesystem to another filesystem, or to a file or device.
Don't see why it shouldn't work with linux.

Since dd by default outputs to stdout, you should also be able to pipe
the output thru gzip, to cut the size down somewhat.

For example:

dd if=/dev/filesystem   | gzip > destination-device/file
