First thing that comes to mind is a scenario that happened some time ago when we migrated
data from one server to another in a similar way.  Server one had the innodb file set to
2gb each file (10 files total).  New server was set for 1gb each.  It doesn't shrink
files so not much was thought about it at the time but our problem was the innodb table
settings had to match to the letter.  We ended up copying the copy file from the old
machine to the new machine (they were running the same version so it really wasn't a
problem.

I know that you stated you were running Ubuntu, which is great, but what version of the
database did it come from and what version of the database is it going to?  

Anyway, if the original server is still up, I'd just copy from one store to the other.  It
might be slow to do a 4 day export, but if you are two days into this the savings of USB
copy has already been lost.
