You'll get a lot of tar solutions; another is (assuming the destination is
/usrnew):

        cd /usr
        find . -print | cpio -pdmv /usrnew

The only changes I might suggest are to leave off the 'v' option if you don't
want to see all the files flying by as they're copied--so I'm paranoid, I do
like that confirmation--and maybe add '--sparse' to cause files with large
zero blocks to be sparse.

Cheers,
