I have a RHEL4 server that takes up 13GB diskspace of a 80GB drive.

It was 73GB, I deleted 60GB of data, so now it uses only 13GB of diskspace

I used to use Ranish Partition Manager on the Ultimate Boot CD to copy the
disk to disk.

But now if I do that, it is copying 60GB of empty data.

.

I would like to move this RHEL4 into a 20GB drive.

 

I though about hooking up the 20GB, formatting it, with a ext3 and swap and
then cp'ing it all over.

Or maybe use dump?

 

What are the best options?
