I performed the steps Tony told me and it worked just fine, but... one thing is the / partition had to be mounted read-write (tar complained about not being able to write to /tmp); the other is my new / has double the size of the original / after copying it. I ran the same command line for all my partitions, but / was the only one to grow. Why is that? Thanks
