Actually, cp -a preserves mtimes (except for symlinks, you know).
From "Hard-Disk Upgrade Mini-HOWTO" and personal experience, with `cp -ax' you
can safely copy a live root fs (even with /proc mounted -- it will be
skipped).
`cp -ax /mnt/gentoo/var/. /mnt/gentoo/newvar'
works perfectly for me (whether newvar does or does not exist).

Use `rsync -aH', so that hardlinks are preserved.
