All,
I need to copy about 360GB's of thousands of small files from one file
system to another one with greater capacity. Typically I use this
command
tar cf - fromdir | ( cd todir ; tar xfp - )

I have never attempted to use this command to move this amount of data,
I am hoping it will work but if any one has any other ideas they would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
