Thank you Les!

I'll have a go tomorrow after backups with something similar as:

dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=16M

Cheers,
Colin

Your best shot would be to use dd to copy the partition to the new
disk, then grow the filesystem to fill the space using the filesystem
tools. You don't need lvm for that since the space is already there,
but the details of the command will depend on the type of filesystem.
