copying/moving partition
I have a slice on a 72GB hard drive like this (example):
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 51424287 51009 50859036 1% /usr/stuff that I need to copy or move to a slice on a MUCH larger slice like this: /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 70592505 570236 69316344 1% /usr/newstuff What is the suggested operation (cp?, tar?) and syntax? I tried to use the dd command like so: dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 of=/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 bs=1024 but the screen just sits there. I know it's moving data, but it sure is taking a long time. Thanks

Personally I prefer this becasue it doesn't have the same file/path length issues
Code:
cd /dir to copy from find . -depth -print | cpio -pmd /dir to copy to
