I have connected a new sata drive that I plan to store my /myth files on. But before I go on editing the fstab I am wondering how to copy the myth folders and files to the new drive with right permissions.

Thanks for help!

Thanks for answer, but when I try this command I get different permissions on the copy when I type ls -l /myth. Any ideas

The most reliable way I know of doing this is to use the old tar trick. Note that you need to do this as root:

Tar would work great as tjc said. cp -rpv * /newmyttv should preserver the permissions as well.
