All hard drive manufacturers artificially and incorrectly define
1 Mb = 1,000,000 bytes
524*32*63*512 bytes/sector = 540,868
Here's how I do it (it's not the only way):
mkdir newdir
cd olddir
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv newdir
This should replicate the whole tree with permissions and symlinks
intact. You have to do it as root, of course, to get ownweships to
replicate.
