still need the directory tree?
I want to move a rootfs from one HD to another, and this seems to be
the most straightforward way.
I use this method:
mkdir -p /mnt/rootfs
mount --bind / /mnt/rootfs
cd /mnt/rootfs
tar -cf /some/other/filesystem/rootfs.tar .
The --bind will bind-mount a fs already mounted under a different
path, but without any of the other mounted file systems under it,
so it will give you the view of the bare rootfs without anything
mounted under it.
