I was cloning a fedora31 system to another partition using rsync using the -x option to restrict decent to one file system, at least that was what I thought, but the contents below the mount point were copied anyway.

rsync -ax bin boot data (<- mounted to separate partition) ... <destination>

So what am I not understanding?

Typically when I want to copy the top level directories I use the command syntax:

rsync -dogp proc sys srv ...... <destination>

The mounted partition are per the rules in fstab.

So if someone can enlighten me I'd appreciate your comments
