I am using cpio 2.5 on Slackware 10.2. I am using cpio to backup my
system to a USB hard drive. I create the archive with the following command:
cpio -ocB -H newc <filist >archive.cpio
The resultant archive is 7.4GB in size.
When I try to read the archive back to verify its contents I get a
"value too large" error immediately. I use the following command to
read the archive back:
cpio -itvB <archive.cpio
If I use the following command to read the archive, it works:
cpio -itvBF [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/backup/archive.cpio
I have already search the bug list and can't find anything regarding
this error in this situation.
