                    one can mkreiserfs for the empty partition . . . then, mount that partition,
     say on /mnt ~ & use TAR to clone the whole system like this :-

                            tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - )

     { it will take about 10 minutes }

     finally, adjust the root / in /mnt/etc/fstab
      so that the correct partition is shown for < / >

     ~ guess you can adjust grub by hand.

    best wishes
