I manually create and format the new partitions, and then use rsync to transfer
the files. That's also how I do my primary backup of data. In run level 1, with
any remaining user processes killed I run ...
time nice -n 19 ionice -n 7 rsync -auvxSHXAP --specials --sparse --delete  --exclude="lost+found" /home/dave/ /aback/home/dave/
