I was running low in disk space on my Linux box, Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop, (specifically on my /home partition) so I added another disk to it and I am trying to move the home partition into it.

I am trying to follow the steps on this guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

However, when copying the files over to the new mounted partition rsync seems to fail silently. When I compare the folders, the new one is still empty.

This is the command that I am executing: 

sudo rsync -axS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /media/home/.

Has it anything to do with the encryption on my home folder?
