There are quite a few: You are right and wrong cp -a copies all the hidden files located inside the sub-directories recursively (I checked on that). The thing that if does not is copy the hidden file located right in /mnt/linux. It is why I copies the only file which is concerned (.readahead) IE, that doing rsync -avAHX source/ destination is not going to help I would have done it if gparted live was offering this option
There is something else to fix. I cannot guess what is it!
