Re: mount directory part to new partition

For starters, you can pipe the output of one tar directly into the other
(tar c... | tar x...) if you want to use that method without needing any
extra disk space.

My preferred method, though, is cp -a.  Doesn't work well on all *nixen, but
the GNU cp in Debian seems to work properly.
