should be cd /usr find . | cpio -pmd /mnt/newusr or you will get /mnt/newusr/usr/ > What does this do?

Basically, it copies all files listed on standard input to the directory /mnt/newusr (p=passthrough, m=modify timestamp, d=create directories as needed). The net result is the same as cp -ar, but that one is not available on all unix systems The real way of doing this is of course: cd /usr find . -print |cpio -o |(cd /mnt/newusr;cpio -ivmd) This should work on any unix system you find.
