Would GHOST work in such a situation or does that only work with fat
partitions.???
You could boot with a dos floppy and run ghost to the new drive. It would be
an exact copy should it support the linux fs

| Hi all,
| I need to copy the contents of a linux partition onto a bigger
| partition on a replacement harddisk. I'd like an exact copy with all
| the permissions intact, etc.
| Would a  simple  cp -a /oldhd/* /newhd/*   do the trick is there a
| better way?
| Regards,
| Matthias
