jeff I think this relates to the other cpio stuff... Fixed in cpio-2.4.2-11. This problem is closely related to bug #80 and provides an alternative fix for the failure of find /any/dir | cpio -o -Hodc | cpio -itv -H odc *** Bug 2336 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Forwarded message follows from Chris Green. Dan ****************** Hi, Some extremely detailed work by Randy [Herber] in determining why a Linux backup using cpio failed has found a bug in the cpio package for any rpm below patchlevel 11 (which we have determined fixes the bug). The rpm which comes with FRH521 [i.e., Red Hat 5.2] is at patchlevel 9, which also has the bug. Basically, if one uses cpio -Hodc -o (the most portable way to output information via cpio), then the header information before each cpio item has the namesize and filesize attributes missing -- effectively a showstopper to having the backup read back in any usable fashion. <snip> Thanks, Chris. -- Chris Green.
