At the bottom of the xfsdump man page there are examples of ways to dump out the file system. The way I moved my /home from a small disk to a larger one was - fdisk/cfdisk the new drive mkfs.xfs /dev/sda (it was attached via a USB to ide adapter) mkdir /d2 mount /dev/sda1 /d2 xfsdump - /home | xfsrestore - /d2/ There is a similar dump/restore for the ext2 filesystem - app-arch/dump.
