It really depends on what you're trying to do.
If you want a logical copy, you can use the ol' tar trick:
tar --preserve --one-file-system -cf - | (cd /mountpoint ; tar --preserve -xf -)
If you want a physical copy, you can do:
mount /mountpoint-of-old-disk -oremount,ro

i want to copy all the contents of the old HD into the newly mounted drive,
so in the case of failure of the old one i can just install the newly
mounted one and everything will work.
