Moving to a new disk..

Hello all,

I've got a dying drive on my hands.. and I know I found a doc/guide on 
the handbook before regarding this..

something like..

# tar cf - --one-file-system -C /var . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt/var

where the new drive is fsck'd and mounted at /mnt ..

or something else..

where is that?

or how would I do that?

I just want to take this 20G drive and copy it to a 30G drive..

what would be the best way?

(and I need to talk to someone over the phone about this.. it's his box 
and he has no inet)

Thanks in advance.
