[oclug] Copying partition contents: old -> new

[Johnathan Hicks]

I just got a new hard drive which I want to move my current Linux setup
onto. I've got several partitions that need to be copied over. I created
the partitions on the new disc and have only to copy the data from the
old partitions to the new. I remember someone or a few people posting
some magic using tar, but I can't remember what exactly it was.
Thanks.
