QtMoko - howto migrate from one partition to another?

Yes.  Some of the files may change while you copy them over, but as long
as *you* don't actively modify important files during the copy, the
files that change won't make a difference (they'll be things like syslog
files).

Just be careful to only backup the partition's own files.  I.e. use
the --one-file-system argument.  Otherwise you might start copying /sys,
/proc and that will get you into trouble.
