i recently set about converting my system to ext3. i patched and recompiled the kernel, rebooted to it and now im trying to move my system unto a new partition.

i have hde2 (current ext2 partititon) and hde3 (a blank ext3 partition).

whats the best way to move my data and still maintain the correct permissions?

of course id have to edit fstab on the new partition.
 
Actually you can just convert the FS (tune2fs -j /dev/hde2). or if you want to copy one to the other (keep permissions) then type:

cp -r -a /hde2_mount_point /hde3_mount_point

(natrually replace the mount points above with the actual mount points).
