Yes, I suppose doing it my way could be a fatasstrophe.
The other poster's point about open files is valid too. I don't do SQL stuff
or otherwise have any particular reason to be worried about open files during
such a move. When I've done it, I haven't been in single user mode or had
the source partitions remounted ro. Come to think of it, I might have done
this while I was running X and doing my usual bit. I'm not quite sure.
Anyway, as long as you make sure it worked before you move in, you shouldn't
have any real problems even if something does go awry with the copy. Be
careful! :)
