I was trying to extract a particular file using the -no-absolute-filename option and could not get it to work.
I tried: cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames "/usr/sbin/lsof" < backup.cpio cpio -id -no-absolute-filenames "/usr/sbin/lsof" < backup.cpio cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames /usr/sbin/lsof < backup.cpio cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames "lsof" < backup.cpio nothing worked. cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames < backup.cpio DID WORK, but was not what I wanted. Unfortunately I could not find any examples of cpio using the -no-absolute-filenames in google.
