I have a server running Proxmox 1.5, It has two containers 101 and 103. The partition containing the operating system is completely trashed. but the pve-data partition is ok. I have the disk plugged into another machine, then I mounted the pve-data from the damaged system to /var/lib/vz. (after unmounting the existing one)

It works great and all, but I want to copy the containers from disk2 to the new disk1.

I doubt the cp command would work in this case, it has symlinks and permissions and things.

What is the best way to do this. There are no backups of this system, that disk failed completely.

It works great right now, but I wanna get the containers moved over to the new drive.
