Assuming root (/) is a single partition, and /mnt another, you can do:
tar clf - / | ( cd /mnt ; tar xpvf - )
Explanation:
c : create tar file

No kidding. He doesn't want to copy the files in the proc directory,
but he has to copy the prov directory itself ... it's a mount point, no?
I believe the original request was to copy the root fs only. This
command does that.

Hi,
/proc (and things like /dev/audio and /dev/hda1) aren't regular files and
so can't be copied using "cp". To copy things like this successfully, you
could use tar. Here's an example: Suppose you want to copy your /
directory from one disk to another. I'm assuming the new disk is empty but
