I have used "rsync -avH" in the past (-H preserves hardlinks), and with |
| 10 |
more recent versions of rsync (and if you have ACLs or XATTRs), I would |
| 11 |
use "rsync -avHAX". |

And yes, do ensure that nothing writes to the partition while you're |
| 14 |
copying, so the best thing is probably to do that from a LiveCD, where |
| 15 |
the source partition is mounted read-only. |
