I'm about to move "/" to a larger drive. What copy command line should I use to get everything, including symlinks, moved and pointing to the new locations?
If, you mount the new "/" on mount-point "/mnt" , then, cd to "/" , and, as root, command :-
tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - )
-- that will do what you want.
