Hello everybody,
I'd like to change the /home /var location
to newly added harddisk partitions, so i need

all and every link permission issue, like:
cp -??? /mnt/gentoo/var /mnt/gentoo/newvar
(booted from gentoo-basic without chroot)
Sorry

Here u have such example :-) :
find src_dir -print | cpio -pduml

I did a test and it works fine. The command you'll want is:
cp -a /mnt/gentoo/var/* /mnt/gentoo/newvar
Be aware, however, that this will probably not copy .* files in the top-level
directory, in this case /mnt/gentoo/var.
