rsync cloning error

I've ubuntu desktop 10.04 running and is installed on a 80 HD of IDE interface. I've newly added a 250GB HD of SATA interface. I'm using rsync to completely copy root directory '/' to the newly added 250GB HD. I mounted the new disk and used the following command:

rsync -avPD --exclude 'mnt' / /mnt

In the middle of the process I'm getting the error like the below:

Open in new window

And the entire process ends with the follwing error:

sent 6934616308 bytes received 3786140 bytes 5727117.17 bytes/sec
total size is 6083618857 speedup is 0.88
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]

When I try to boot the machine with the new HD(250GB), I'm getting the following error:

error : no such partition
grub rescue>

I'm not using dd/ddrescue or any other tool because in my office rsync is being used over wan links between a cloud and backup server. So I'm practising this at my home computer. Need help...

I can clone with other tools but I couldn't do with rsync.

I'm not excluding proc, sys, dev because I'll sync it later on the same machine with same hardware config.

Ok, on the lan I could do. How do I do for cloud servers over wan links which don't even have direct access to it.
