Oops, sorry. The howto was intended for the original poster (David
Rankin), who wanted to add/move disks/partitions.

Option -t -T if my memory is correct. Speed may be different for each
partition given to it (or overall disk). I found that placing my HD on the
same cable as the cdwriter or the dvd made the HD much slower than placing
both HD on the same cable, and CDW and DVD on the other: noticeably so.

I run the tests from the rescue system, I think.
