My new Seagate 7200.8 250GB SATA drive came today! It took a trip home to grab a Molex to SATA power connector and four screws to get it properly installed. It took something like eight minutes to transfer the four Gigs of data from the old / to the new / partiton, and then another hour to transfer my data from the old /home to the new /home. It then took like four hours to figure out what exactly I needed to do to get lilo on the new drive properly. So, it’s working now (duh! from where do you think I am posting?), but I have one pretty big problem. I used the command time tar cflp - . | (cd /mnt/new_partition; tar xflp -)
to copy the files. I found it some time ago from Usenet, before the bastardization of the interface by Google… :(. Anyway, check out the df
:

Where the crap did those extra 12GB of data come from? This greatly disturbs me…
Just for kicks, I’ll give everybody the rest of the info about my drives:
