[HPADM] disk swapping with data

Friends,

I did mount/unmount and than restored backup, but I doubt some files left ,
see the size of used directory

Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg02/lvol1 17776640 7705132 9914184 44% /oracle ( New disk where
I restored backup )
/dev/vg01/lvol1 8708096 7787248 916192 89% /oracleold ( Old disk
previously mounted as /oracle took backup, than changed mounting as
/oracleold , and mounted new disk as /oracle 'vg02' and restored backup )

But I afraid /oracleold used 7787248 and /oracle used is 7705132 .
Where is my 82116 KB data ?

If I directly do " cd /oracle , cp /oracleold/* . " than is it correct
method to swap disk with data, file permissions..etc?

/oracleold contains oracle installation and database.

thanks
pankaj
