After using "tar" command, the "diff" command showed the below messages - I suspect they are OK? I didn't do the "mount" "umount" commands since I had already updated fstab with the new disk and rebooted. The "dfh -h" command does now show that the two files are both at 1.9G, vs. there being 0.2G difference before when using the "cp" command.
