Greetings again,
My favorite method of copying partitions on systems on Linux is cp -ax
(the -x switch tells cp to stay on the current filesystem)
Eg.,
with / mounted as /, and the new one mounted as /newroot, you can say:

Hello all,
I originally made my "/" partition too large (only 2% is used) and now I want
to shrink it because the /usr partition is full. My plan is to save the "/"
partition, delete the partition and then create a new one. I have already
saved the /usr directories.
