[NTLUG:Discuss] Need a little more elbow room.

[Stephen Klein]

Howdy all, :)

I'm getting a little short on space on my 4.3GB drive (too much source
code lying around I guess ;-) ), I have a new 13GB drive that I decided
to use for an upgrade.  Anyone know a quick and relatively way to
transfer the contents of the old drive to a new larger drive. I need to
end up with an exact duplicate of the old filesystem.

	I am well aware of the large disk issues, I have already gotten this
drive to boot into Linux successfully, I just don't want to have to
rebuild all of the modifications (somewhat modified is a bit of an
understatement) I've made to my Slackware 3.5 system.  I also know that
I'll have to run LILO on the new drive once I get things transferred, so
you don't have to bother mentioning that fact. :)

	I'll probably boot with the old drive mounted read-only, mount the new
drive with write-enabled, and then transfer the data.  That's the point
where I need help, what do I do to copy the entire contents of the old
disk to the new disk.  I could probably figure it out eventually, but
with my job I just don't have time.  I also have plans for the old drive
that are limited by time somewhat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen
