File permissions or ownership?  Symlinks/hardlinks?  Device
nodes/named pipes?  Tar is *very* good at reproducing all sorts of Unixy
file attributes.  Though I always expected rsync -a to be just as
good...

Cmp only compares file contents.  Try tar --diff instead:

  rm -r /floppy/*
  rsync -avH /opt/ /floppy/
  tar cf - -C /opt . | tar dvf - -C /floppy
