Hi listers

I have a linux system with cpio 2.8, in this system I have a big file (5343
564800 bytes) yes 5 Gb, that I can't save.
When I try to save this file, I receive this message:

cpio: /usr2/piecefile/DOCMEMO: field width not sufficient for storing file
size

The syntax used :

#find /usr2 -depth -print | cpio -ov -H crc >/dev/tape

After the error message if I try to list the tape:

The command cpio -itv </dev/tape returns: 1 block

# cpio --version
cpio (GNU cpio) 2.8

Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance
Gilles
