Clone Ubuntu Installation

I installed ubuntu on a USB HD of size 50GB. and I clone it to a USB HD of size 80GB.

Here gives a good instruction.

But there was a problem: The used space in the second disk is much bigger then that in the first disk.(the difference seems like the capacity of the disks).To solve this problem, you can just lunch the GParted in Live CD, and let it check your problem disk. It will fix the wrong mount of used space.
