rsync copy all of what you want onto the new drive. When it finishes, stop the machine. By that, I mean take it off-line, not shut down. do an rsync -u when that finishes, shut it down and swap drives. Bring it back up. Should be no more than ten minutes off line if I did it. Maybe less. > Also on the subject of hard-drives, I have used a USB H/D hub and plugged > the new Hard-drive into it, but the Linux box does not see the external unit > and drive.
