For heavy disk block moving, I highly recommend plugging in a
USB drive (or a network drive) and using rsync to copy the
files off, reformatting the drive the way you want it, and
rsync-ing back. If you're copying to another machine on the
network, I would use the "--numeric-ids" option to make sure
it does not try to remap the owner and group ID's to numbers
on the remote machine.
