Are you using SELinux at all?  If so then I don't think that command
will copy the SELinux file contexts.  You might have luck with this
command:

  cp -xdR --preserve=all /oldpart/. /newpart/

but make sure SELinux is in permissive mode first (in case it actually
stops you tries to read an oldpart file).  Note that the above command
doesn't copy over the SELinux file context of '/' for some reason so
you'll have to do that manually as well with chcon.
