I haven't tried it yet, but what I really want to do is copy the data 
from a raid mirror on Seagate 750G drives to a WD 'scorpio blue' 2.5" 
drive that claims to have the same capacity - and does in terms of 512 
byte sectors.  I'd like to do it by adding it into the raid, letting it 
sync, then removing it, but that is about 10x slower than doing it with 
a desktop drive and not practical.   So, I'm looking for any other way 
to accomplish this copy to have an offsite backup of this data (which 
happens to be a backuppc archive with millions of hardlinks that make 
techniques other than image copies very slow).

I suspect that even if clonezilla does try to adjust the alignment, it 
will shift the initial offset from 63 to 64 (there's one big partition) 
which will leave the partition space too small to match the original - 
but I can try it to see what happens.
