Even more alarming, cpio did not warn in any way about not copying the
file correctly! The cpio command exited normally ($? was 0). Output from
"-pmdu" did not indicate any errors!
What exactly did you do when encountering the problem?
cd /backup
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmvu /pool
<...lots of files listed>
<huge number> blocks copied
I've filed a bug report on it now.
The limit is 4GB, not 2 as I believed last night. It's simple to
reproduce:
mkdir test
mkfile 4200m bigfile
echo bigfile | cpio -pdmvu test/
echo $?
ls -l bigfile test/bigfile
/H
