Um, I don't think 'clf' and 'xvf' store/extract everything about a file, do they? I'd use cp -a or rsync -a if you can mount it. cp -a does a GREAT job.
And if you are using IDE drives make sure they are on separate channels.
Bah. That's only for marginal drives and better performance, but "make
sure" is a little strong, IMO.
