Bill - I posted it just a few minutes ago, in response to another 
reply in the thread.

What you might try, assuming the other drive is mounted at /mnt:


# tar -cf / --exclude=/mnt/* | (cd /mnt ; tar -xf -)

Of course, this assomes that you have a complete file system on
one partition, and you're just going to copy or mirror that layout
on another drive.

Tar has a --one-file-system option (see the tar man page) which you
might find helpful if you're just wanting to copy the contents of one
filesystem somewhere else.
