We been using this for a few years to copy xfs partitions -
xfsdump -l 0 - /sourcedisk | xfsrestore - /targetdisk/
You'll need to install xfsdump (which also get you xfs_fsr), create the
partition,
mkfs.xfs, and mount it. Also, the above is typically to clone entire drives.
Please
adjust for specific paritions. The man pages for xfsdump/xfsrestore are
helpful.
