[clug] fastest way to copy a fs

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

I want to move a fs to a new disk, and considering what is the best
way to do this.

I want the copy to be complete (e.g. ACLs). How good are these:

- dump | restore
- cp -ax
- rsync -ax
- tar -c | tar -x
- cpio -p
- other methods?

I will then select the fastest one, which I can benchmark myself, but are
there important speedup options (I will run off a live DVD with the source
fs mounted ro).

BTW, the target partition is larger, so I cannot do a dd, although I could
probably do that and follow up with a resize.
