Hi, I want to transfer 6gigabyte worth of user account mainly for mail purposes to a new bigger harddisk. What I want to know is what is the fastest and safe way to copy the data across? I can do standard cp but will it be faster to use dd instead. I don't use dd much and cp seems slow on FreeBSD. There is a lot of sub directories to copy. Recommendations and opinions welcome.. many thanks Kent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
