Hi,

I 'm using 3 mount points, on 3 separate partitions, 
for my mandrake 7.2 instal.. 

/dev/hda5 /
/dev/hda7 /usr
/dev/hda8 /home

I want to back up everything on /, format it then
restore.  I don't want to do an image copy however,
because there's some kind of Inode problem in that
partiton I think the format will fix.

So, I just want to copy the files and direcotries
under /, but I don't know how to do this since this
would include special directories such as /dev /proc
etc..

I assume cp -Rp isn't going to cut it.....

Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks in advance :)
