[SGVLUG] Moving files in a safe way

[Matt Campbell]

Thanks Ted,

It's a trusted network (my house, my daughter isn't quite six yet so I'm not
running across domestic terrorism issues yet).

The target/source machines are Intel/Fedora boxes running largish RAIDS.
The source machine is FC6 with two 4T software(md) arrays and the
destination machine, Fedora 10, has a 10T hardware(Adaptec) array.

Matt
