Two weeks ago I asked about migrating to my BackupPC pool to bigger
storage. I got a number of responses and after some experimentation
I allways move my pools using super complex procedure

Only check that the size in the new file system has the same size that the old

Yes, you would see a significant increase in used space on the new file
system if the copying went wrong and didn't
I've had good results moving storage pools between RAID devices (for

investigate the dump/restore commands for your filesystem (I've learned to
avoid ext for anything over ~1TB but YMMV).
For locally attached devices, the rates

dd bypasses those memory problems. if you want to move it across the
