   4. do a recursive copy (cp -rx) from / to where the scsi drive is mounted
	   Note:  if you cannot exclude the mount point from the copy (-x),
		   you may have to copy each dir in / one by one

You can use 'find' with the '-mount' predicate to select filenames from the
current filesystem only to either output to an include file for tar to do the
copy or pipe the find output to cpio to perform the copy.  (For tar or cpio
disk to disk copying commands check the man pages or message me directly.)
