The best way would to be to create a new filesystem on the new disk. Then copy the data via rsync.

had you used a real fs, like xfs, you could do a dump/restore to generate an exact copy at the filesystem level (full acl, and other details embedded into a filesystem)

Hello everyone,

Just received a new, unformatted SATA 120G HD with the
intention of moving my entire gentoo OS over to it
from a flaky 120G ATA drive(reiserfs). Hopefully, I
can just boot up from the new drive as if nothing had
changed.

Can anybody recommend any tool(s) for the job?
Gotchas? Does SATA prefer a certain fs?
