    All,
    I need to copy about 360GB's of thousands of small files from one file
    system to another one with greater capacity. Typically I use this
    command
    tar cf - fromdir | ( cd todir ; tar xfp - )

    I have never attempted to use this command to move this amount of data,
    I am hoping it will work but if any one has any other ideas they would
    be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
