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?
Just a straight cp -R or the huge tar file would do for that, wouldn't it?
