find knows how to not cross mount points in System V Release 3.0 and later.
It has a new option "-mount" that will restrict find's searching to the
filesystem containing the directory specified.

I do full backups of the root filesystem with something like this:

	cd /
	find . -mount -depth -print | cpio -oacB >/dev/rmt/0m
