Hi,
I am setting up a raid array using the Software-RAID-HOWTO.

In the section "Root Filesystem on RAID" he explains how to copy
a working filesystem to a new raid array.
The commands are:

cd /
find . -xdev | cpio -pm /mnt/newroot

What is going on in that command?

Does anyone else have a favorite command to do this function,
which may be easier to remember? Why didn't he use dd?

Thanks for any insight.
