Transferring system to new drive

[Timothy Murphy <gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a document with instructions for this?
I've had smartd warnings that a hard disk in my server is sick,
so I am installing a new drive (in addition to the old).

I was thinking of copying the old root partition with
	sudo cp -a -P /* /mnt/hd
(after mounting the prospective new root partition).
Then I'd have to modify the new /etc/fstab .

Is that a sensible approach?
