Okay, I don't want to screw this up, so I thought I'd run it by the  
list first.

The Scenario:

I have a two drive system, the second drive being one 18GB partition  
with about 3GB used. For various reasons I need to re-partition that  
drive. So, I want to copy that 3GB to another partition on drive one,  
repartition, and then copy it back.

Red Hat Linux 9.

What is the best way to do this to preserve permissions, links, etc?

-T
