Since udev mounts it with tmpfs, rsync with -x would skip those entries (static and from tmpfs). I suppose you can ignore static /dev if you use initrd. Since author of this thread wants to mount filesystem(s) of "the system" from livecd of some kind, there is no point in using any of ideas in this or previous email - there will be no other filesystems mounted. I often use that trick with /somewhere/ to backup live system from laptop to external drive. But it does not work well with innodb... man mount man rsync good luck -- Kacper Kopczyński
