2 things: 1. Does your current kernel support Reiser? If so, then you can put the destination disk in the current disk and copy. 2. Is your whole install (including /boot, /var, etc. in _one_ partition? If so, then tar will work and not screw up links. If the install is not on 1 partition, then please tell me how you get it to successfully move links to the new partitions!
