ATV backup - ext3 partition not big enough?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow instructions : http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/ATVBackup
2. Run the command "cp -arp src/* dst/"


What is the expected output? 
File(s) should copy across successfully

What do you see instead?
Error message : "cp: write error: No space left on device"

What version of the product are you using? 
ATV version 1 (40Gb) with latest update (3.0.1) booting using atvbootloader

On what operating system? My PC is running Jaunty


Please provide any additional information below.
I assume I'm seeing this error because my recovery.dmg is over 400Mb, so I
assume I need a bigger ext3 partition to copy it to. If correct, how can I
adapt the command in the instructions to create a 500Mb ext3 partition?

thanks
Paul

[Fixed] I dug out a gparted livecd (GUI front end to the same parted used on the
command line here) and used that to extend the ext3 partition. 

Went through the whole atvbackup process and it all worked as advertised. 

So the error I was seeing was indeed due to the ext 3 partition not being big 
enough
for my recovery.dmg

Next stop - install some flavour of Ubuntu and run xbmc with crystal. So I'm 
hoping
that backup is ok...!
