Sorry, I forgpt to add this,

I the answer is yes to the first question (original question), then, what happens if one 'dd's a small, say 36 GM disk to a larger one, say 73 GB. Can the newly made disk be resized so as not to loose 1/2 of it?

yes - with growisofs and disklabel

i actually did this, when joining 2 partition to one. i had chance to copy files from smaller to bigger partition (fitted), then with dd i MOVED this partition on disk, then did disklabel and did growfs to resize
