depends. What do you mean replicate what is happening on the disk. If
you mean replicate the file systems, Just repartition the new disk with
sufficient space to copy over the old file systems then use tar(I forget
the exact incarnation, but check the archives there was a thread on this
a few days ago) and you should be able to copy over the file systems
just fine.
