All respondents said cpio, tar, and ufsdump. Noone really had much to
say as to which was really better or had the least overhead but I got
the point.
Ultimately we ended up using 'cp -pR' but that's a whole different story
(one which I may relay as a question a bit later). But in any case, any
of these 3 are used with success and speed by most people.
Thanks for all the replies.

Subject: most efficient method to transfer disk-to-disk

I am embarking on a mail store transfer tonight between ufs and vxfs.
Tar has a large overhead while ufsdump is obviously not an option.
These disks are both local (fcal san attached) so no network issues
involved.
I am thinking a combination of ufsdump piped to dd might be the most
efficient but I don't know this for sure and I also do not know the
syntax for such a transfer.
Looking for suggestions and syntax. FYI; filesystems are /webdata and
/mail_data (/webdata is the current ufs file system).
Thanks.
