Demo of cpio bug
Thanks for fixing the cpio program; it works correctly in Fedora Core 3, and maybe sooner - I didn't check those. However, you failed to fix the man page, too. There's no mention of the fact that cpio is intended to span multiple media. I had suggested possible wording (taken from the SysV manual) in the attachment. Please add something. Why? I do not think it's necessary to add anything to man page. It's mentioned in "-M MESSAGE, --message=MESSAGE" option. OK, I agree. That little note does not exactly leap out at you, but it is there for the determined reader. Good enough, I guess. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i586; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: When a cpio archive spans multiple media (floppies) there's a prompt for next one on output, but not on input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cpio -o a large file 2. cpio -i the disks 3. Actual Results: cpio -o prompts for additional disks cpio -i claims an I/O error at end of first disk, instead of asking for next disk See example in attachment. Additional info:
