   Not that I remember, but if this helps this is what I do when moving   
   data from an old drive to a new one to prevent confusion. I create to   
   temp mount points:   
      
   sudo mkdir /old   
   sudo mkdir /new   
      
   Then if the old drive is sdb and the new is sdc I mount their respective   
   partitions   
      
   sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /old   
   sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /new   
      
   Then do whatever operations I need and the paths prevent confusion. Then   
   unmount and remount whatever partitions I need to work on next. When   
   done I unnmount all and remove these temporary mount points.
