Hello,

I am trying to move data from a 2TB hard drive to a 3TB drive and am having 
space issues.  I am using:

rsync -aHAXv --delete --progress /mnt/olddrive/ /mnt/newdrive/

To copy the data from the old to the new.  I noticed that this process 
tanked so I ended up running it for individual folders under the specific 
directories... for example:

    /mnt/olddrive/backup/pc/abccomputer/ 
/mnt/newdrive/backup/pc/abccomputer/

I have ran this process all weekend (I bash scripted it for all the folders) 
and then some and I came back to find that my entire hard drive is filled 
up.  I thought by using the “H” option, it would just keep the hardlink and 
not have the files in two locations.

What am I missing?  What can I do to efficiently get the data copied from 
olddrive to newdrive without this problem?

Thanks,
Ryan
