Swapping Drives...

[William Cockerham]

I have always used cpio to do this, and have never had it fail
Step 1:  cd to root of current mount point (IE / if it is only
partition)
Setp 2:  as root execute=> find . |cpio -pdumv "new mount point"

You will need to have your new partition already fdisk'd and formated.  

Just my $.02 worth
