Why make it harder than it needs to be? Call it / or /var or /usr

This works without problems as long as it is running from the
system to be copied. In case you use a live system, it doesn't
know anything about the associations between devices and the
mountpoints; this information is, as far as I know, obtained
via /etc/fstab. This is important to know especially if the
source and target disk have different layouts and concepts,
e. g. /dev/ad0s1d = /var -> /dev/da0s1e = /var (different
partition names for same subtree).
Yes, you're right. I only realized that after sending... so I just sent
an additional message.
