Hi all

Since my server crashed and burned rather spectacularly on Friday I've
rebuilt it as a single boot Gentoo box. I've been able to get rid of some
legacy stuff, but I have one thing left. I have a 120Gb hard drive that
contains 27Gb of movies, music and a shared Portage tree. However, due to
my using this when I was weaning myself off Windows it's a Fat32
partition. I'd like to make it something a bit more robust and secure like
XFS or JFS.

What would be the best way to move all of this data onto my desktop
computer (the only one with enough space) and then back after I've
reformatted the drive? Rsync? scp? Huge tar file?
