I just got a new hd and I want to move *everything* from the old to the new. I'm just not sure how to go about it. I was thinking I could use dd to move the bootsector, but I'm afraid that the drive geometry and other unwanted data will go with it. Is this correct? Now, assuming that dd works for the bs, whats the best way to move everything else? I think I could do it with tar, but I'm not sure if that will preserve everything, mostly the different slices and such. The OS is FreeBSD 2.2.6. I'd appreciate any help/comments.
