I wholeheartedly agree with Luke. I am often reorganizing and moving
partitions, and cp -ax is simple and always works just fine.

Two things to watch out for:

1. Don't forget the "x" in "cp -ax" when you're copying your root
partition :)

2. If you're using lilo and copying /, don't forget to run lilo (of
course I've never forgotten to run lilo myself, you understand)

3. Remember to update your fstab (and keep a backup copy just in case
you make a mistake, not that I ever screw it up)
