RE: Final question: best wasy to move /, /usr, /home, etc?

I am finally at the point I want to give up my old external scsi hard
drives.  Unfrotunately, my current /, /usr, /home, etc all exist on scsi
drives.

I recently purchased a 60 gig hard drive (ide) and have now installed it.

IDE ?!?  Bleah !!

What is the best way to move all of the files and directories, and special
device files, and etc from the scsi drive to new partitions on the IDE
drives?

Can I simply use a recursive "cp" with -a?  Should I use "tar"?  What
about "parted" and its partition copies?

cp -a works fine.
