Help transfering data....

[kc5vxy@juno.com (Kevin J Poorman)]

Hi.

I just got a new hard drive and wish to transfer my root fs to this new
drive as it is larger....

now to the hard part ...

I Tryed to do a cp -a * /mnt (where the new hd was mounted)

but it sat there cp'ing files for an hour and never got past the proc
directory .... did I do something wrong ...


I know that before on this list some published a way to do this with tar
I would like to do it that way if posible ....


thanks in advance
