Re: Migrating /home from too small /dev/hda partition

A somewhat better way to copy the filesystem with the permissions intact is to 
use tar in a pipeline.  Something like:

cd /opt/home
tar cf - . | ( cd /home; tar xpf -)

This insures all files keep their ownerships and permissions intact.  You can 
then delete /opt/home when you are done.
