Any suggestions?
You could try this: (under / )
$ find . -print0 | cpio -pvdn0 /dev/[destination]
This should copy everything to the defined destination. Even
other mountpoints. If you only want to copy the mountpoint your are in,
try this:
$ find . -xdev -print0 | cpio -pvdn0 /dev/[destination]
$ man find
$ man cpio
...for more info.
