[TriLUG] cp and a new fs, eg ntfs

[Keith Woodie]

dd would also be an option since it copies at the bit level and would be
filesystem agnostic.

I'm not sure on cp, but I do know you should avoid ntfs-3g if possible-- it
defaults to it sometimes but you may find you have a plain mount.ntfs. In my
experience it's up to 3x faster. For the copy, I know I've used rsync and
had a bootable windows disk as a result, but I don't remember the necessary
flags off the top of my head.
