Or you could simply use the -x option with rsync. But copying an in use |
| 9 |
filesystem is a bad idea, better to boot from a live CD and do the job |
| 10 |
there. If you want to minimise downtime, do the rsync on the working |
| 11 |
system then boot from the live CD and do it again. The second run should |
| 12 |
take seconds but will make sure your disk is consistent. Remember to use |
| 13 |
--delete on the second run. |
