Hmm? Describe this more. On top of what existing partition?

But, ignoring that odd info above, all you have to do is:

  rsync -va /my-xfs/data/ /afs/yourcell/huge-empty-volume

                        ^
                        |- trailing slash relevant, read rsync(1)

If /my-xfs/data is writable space, you *must* to stop all writes to it
(re-mount it read-only) and then run that command again to finalize
things. This may or may not be "downtime" for you.
