MOVING FILES WITH CPIO 
If you have a multitude of
 files to move from one
 directory or filesystem to
 another, here's a one liner:
 
 # find /old_directory -depth | cpio -pdmv /new_directory
 
 This will move all of the
 files under the specified
 old_directory to the
 new_directory, keeping the
 same ownership, permissions,
 and directory structure.
