I have used "rsync -avH" in the past (-H preserves hardlinks), and with
more recent versions of rsync (and if you have ACLs or XATTRs), I would
use "rsync -avHAX".
And yes, do ensure that nothing writes to the partition while you're
copying, so the best thing is probably to do that from a LiveCD, where
the source partition is mounted read-only.
