I would like to move my current installation of Ubuntu 11.10 to a bigger harddisk, since the old one is failing.

I would like to avoid solutions like dd block copying (since there would be unused space at the end) with something cleaner, but I'm open to suggestions.

Partitions info:

Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on Partition type Encrypted

19G  9.9G  7.6G  57% /           ext4

59G   50G  6.2G  90% /home       ext4           Yes

What is the best way to accomplish such a task, preferably with advantages/disadvantages.
