Ok. Just to be more precise, here are few more details of what I did (as a non-linux expert) in case you may need them.

I was rinning 2.0b7. And besides what i told you in my previous post, I also did this:

I issued a "site rw" command on the destination (new, 60gb) player before the entire transfer from my hdd to the destination empeg started (obvious, I know ). This is done via ftp ("site rw" is as you know a command mlord put in the ftp server in hijack); Also, I issued a "site ro" command after the transfer completed, few hours later. No reboot of the new empeg yet. Then i tried to check if the playlists where still empty, and they were obviously. I had to unplug the empeg and restrart it. When it restarted everything was there correctly, without any need to resync. However, I started emplode, browsed the tree structure, uploaded and downloaded few files, renamed and moved here and there to make sure everything was "real" and working fine (and it was) and resynchronized few times just to "stress test" the new empeg, and, most important, to convince myself that everything was there before giving my old empeg to a friend of mine. When my subconscious was really really sure I was not forgetting anything, I called my friend and together we cleaned the old empeg, formatted, reinstalled latest version of empeg sw and hijack, uploaded his tracks etc. Obviously I forgot the raw partition and I lost play counts, eq settings, radio presets, etc, but don't tell my subconscious.

That's really it.
