Thinking about this a bit more. Don't mount all your new partitions  
before starting dump. Only mount the new root at /mnt. I think you  
*can* mount them all in advance but there are two sets of mode bits  
which apply to a mounted filesystem, those of the filesystem, and  
those of its mount point. I think if you let restore create the mount  
points you will most accurately clone the permissions. /tmp is  
particularly different.

In copying / you should now have the mount points for other filesystems.

# mount /dev/<newdisk_etc> /mnt/etc

> # dump -0af - /etc | ( cd /mnt/etc; restore -rf - )

# mount /dev/<newdisk_var> /mnt/var
