Thanks. I'm looking to copy everything as I'm migrating disks. I just 
want to get everything over to the new disk/partitions, none of the user 
ids are changing so keeping ownership is essential.
I'm not looking to upgrade to FC6, just shuffle sideways.

I figure the only things I'll have to do is reconfigure any mappings in 
/etc/fstab that don't use Labels and run Grub again with new config 
settings to reference the SATA container.
