How can I recreate a directory structure, without the files?

With the cpio program:

 cd "$srcdir"
 find . -type d -print | cpio -pdumv "$dstdir"

or with GNU tar, and more verbose syntax:

 cd "$srcdir"
 find . -type d -print | tar c --files-from - --no-recursion |
   tar x --directory "$dstdir"

This creates a list of directory names with find, non-recursively adds just the directories to an archive, and pipes it to a second tar instance to extract it at the target location.

There should be a way to do this with pax too.... - GreyCat
