We have done this many times as servers get
replaced . I use the excellent tool rsync. We've
actually got such a migration in progress now.
I'm moving a server with somewhere arounf
700GB from a SUN/EMC combo to a linux nfs
server. Using rsync(s) I can copy all data in about
30hours and keep the new box up to date in much
less time.

Good afternoon all,
can someone tell me the best method to copy files from a auto
mounting home directory, which comes from a Solaris box, to a linux
box. I'm setting up a server on Dell Poweredge 4600 running Linux 7.3
which, when finished, will be where most if not all of our exports
will come from. Right now we have cross mounting issues because
virtually all of our Suns export a directory - some auto mounting and
some through vfstab entries. I would like to do this copy and keep
permissions if possible. I will start with my own home directory which
comes from a host named g32s2s and copy it to our Dell Linux server
and then change the auto mounting database to reflect those changes.
