I just run this as root (as a test while running my old system): rsync -avHAX --progress /home/ /new/ After a few seconds I canceled this with ctrl-c and got this result: hive new # ls -lah /home/ total 44K drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K May 2 2009 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4.0K Dec 27 17:59 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 20 2007 .keep drwx------ 2 root root 16K Aug 18 2007 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 81 marc users 4.0K Dec 27 21:07 marc drwx------ 6 root root 4.0K Dec 11 20:33 root_dev drwxr-xr-x 4 marc root 4.0K Sep 7 2007 virtualbox hive new # ls -lah /new/ total 24K drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K May 2 2009 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4.0K Dec 27 17:59 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 20 2007 .keep drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Aug 18 2007 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 81 marc users 4.0K Dec 27 21:13 marc drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 27 21:13 root_dev drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 27 21:13 virtualbox Have a look at ownership an permissions of virtualbox!

I have no clue at all what is happening here! My home partition is ext3 mounted with these options (from fstab): noatime,user_xattr My new partition is ext4 mounted with no special options.
