[CLUE-Tech] best way to copy hdd

[grant]

Well, since the drives are not identical, I would not suggest using dd,
unless you make a partition exactly the same.  Very dangerous...  Your
best bet is to use cp, and then cascade directories and preserve
permissions and stay to one file system.  I think it is -R and -p and -X,
but I am not sure.

When I did this, I was just moving the /home directory to another drive
when I added the second drive.  I mounted it somewhere bogus, copied
everything over, rebooted to single user mode, renamed the home directory,
made a new /home directory, and told fstab to mount the new drive at
/home.  Then after I rebooted and verified that everything was OK, I
killed the old one.

Make sure that you preserve permissions, stay to one file system, include
hidden files, etc, and check it all very closely before erasing the old
drive.
