Try cp -ax /source /destination The a option copies symbolic links as links, preserves permissions, and copies directories recursively. The x option tells cp to not copy anything on a different file system.
I have always used this method and the only thing I have to do is create the directories that act as mount points, they do not get copied because of -x. Hope it helps A.
