[Leaplist] copy a hard drive to another different sized partition.

[Richard F. Ostrow Jr.]

Be careful there, looks like you're also going to copy /mnt/destination
into /mnt/destination into /mnt/destination/mnt/destination into... you
get the point :)

Make sure to exclude /mnt/destination from the find operation:

find / -x -d -not -name /mnt/destination/* | cpio -pdm /mnt/destination

Note that -xdev and -depth are deprecated parameters (-x and -d are the
new equivalents)
