Migration all partitions from one to another linux

[forza198419]

Hi everbody,

I have ubuntu 10.04 linux server and want to migrate all system to another separate hardware which OS is also Ubuntu. My existing system partition table is in below

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2              1.4T  103G  1.3T   8% /
udev                  5.9G  220K  5.9G   1% /dev
none                  5.9G     0  5.9G   0% /dev/shm
none                  5.9G  552K  5.9G   1% /var/run
none                  5.9G     0  5.9G   0% /var/lock
none                  5.9G     0  5.9G   0% /lib/init/rw
none                  1.4T  103G  1.3T   8% /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs
/dev/md0              183M   46M  128M  27% /boot

as you can see that 103 GB is using on root partition. It's very large to transfer. How can I dump all partition and restore to another system? is there any effective way to do that?

I've done it with partitions and rsync worked very well.

rsync sounds good but don't understand partitions.

any ideas?

Partitions on a drive; like when you've got more than one logical drive existing on one physical drive.

I already know partition on a drive. But when you say it as a solution I don't understand what it really is...

rsync from drive/dir to new_drive/dir
