I got it transfered over. I noticed something weird tho. I was booted from the CD. When I was checking the permissions to make sure things were going well, it kept showing gentoo:users instead of dale:users for example. The ones that were root were fine but the ones that should be dale:users was gentoo:users. I stopped and reformatted the drives and it always did the same thing. I finally gave in and let it copy anyway. After it was copied, I chroot'ed in and all the permissions were like they should be including dale:users. Any idea why it did that? It did the same thing with both rsync -ax and cp -av. Just thought it was weird is all. I did copy null and console over after deleting the rest. I also checked /sys and /proc to make sure. I also ran the fragck on it again. I got this: 3.26229678132721% non contiguous files, 1.08394810041292 average fragments. Not to bad I guess. There is about 500,000 files or so. Dale :-) :-)
