I can't tell you exactly.
But when I migrated to softraid I had to copy
the root partition to the raidset and had problems with cp.
I think the important issues about tar are:
- Prerserving the numeric own
Besause you booting with a rescue system
- Preserving soft and hardlinks exactly in the way the are
(your root partition is now in /old/ )
ATTENTION:
It is absolutly right what Sebasti�n Abate said. Tar will not preserve
ACL's.
So refere to the star man page.

Question: why would one tar and not simply cp -a?

Be carefull if you use ACL, tar don't save your acl's configuration. Use
star.
