Copy all data between linux partitions
Toasted NTFS File System from Failed Re-Partitioning & Recovery OptionsHow can I recover my accidentally-deleted Windows 7 boot partition?Encrypted Windows 7 & Linux Advice WantedLinux, Windows 7 boot removedPreinstalled Windows 8 and Linux UEFI dual boot on a laptopNTFS partition size not recognized after disaster recovery cloneBootable linux backups without DDgrub2 loads vfat filesystem errorcorrupted Arch Linux OS after accessing partition from Windows 7(dual boot)Accidentally Restored LUKS Header on Regular Filesystem
I used to have a Windows 10/Arch Linux dual boot. As I don't need Windows anymore, I deleted it and wanted to expand Arch.
I created a new Arch partition, made it bootable.
Now, what should I copy to get all my data on this new partition ? Obviously /home isn't enough, I have lots of stuff everywhere on the filesystem, and the whole of it on a single /partition.
I first thought of using cp -ru --p=links, but I'm not sure.
EDIT:
I finally installed GParted Live, and used it, it worked perfectly.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Are you sure you are after a file level (rather then block level) solution?

In fine I'd like to have a large Arch Linux partition on my whole drive -exept BIOS, EFI, and Swap. However Windows was left of Linux and I don't have a live GParted. So I'm trying to clone the old partition into the first one.

To clone partition you copy the partition, not the files. You may also have some irritation moving the boot loader. You have not provided sufficient information about your disk to enable meaningful answers. You may want to provide the outputs of (run as root) "lsblk; lvs" to give us a feel for your setup. That said, have you looked at gparted? This program can do lots of magic with moving partitions arround and resizing them - but, of-course, BACK UP FIRST.

I don't know how I managed to mess my partition up like that : the old partition doesn't boot anymore, grub-mkconfig fails, and so on... if I manage to start it again, i'll install gparted.
