My reading of things was that /proc and any in-use mount points needed
to be handled specially when using tar to do the copy. Then again, the
--one-file-system argument could be taking care of that; I haven't heard
of using it.
Is it OK to use tar on / including /proc and /dev like this?
cpio, cp, tar - I've seen HOWTOs use all three to copy / !
