Is 'target' on a different filesystem?

Last experience I had with this was on an FC3 with a disk used for 
rsnapshot backups - the hardlinks on that disk represent ~15 copies of 
the data, and when copying this filesystem to another disk cp ballooned 
all the hardlinks (1 copy of the data for each instance of a link).  
The source was about 560GB and the destination 1.2TB - it quickly 
filled the 1.2 and gave an error.
