Or you could think "outside the tar box" and use cpio: cd /some/input/dir find . | cpio -pmvd /some/destination/dir"-p" invokes the "passthru" mode, which is great for doing filesystem-to-filesystem copies. cpio seems to have been installed on just about every CentOS, Fedora, and RH system I've used in the last several years. See the manpage for more info!
