Should be an easy fix.
Shanged priority to 4high4, because several backup-systems rely on
the output of the filename after writing the archive.
(Return value is not valid on every system)

I believe that this problem is fixed by reverting the stdout patch (#3358) that has been done in cpio-2.4.2-14. Please reopen this bug if I'm wrong. Ok, it's fixed.
Thanks

There's a new bug in release 13 of cpio. If you write an archive with verbose-mode, the filedescriptor 1 will be closed and after that the filename should be written to this descriptor. Try this: echo /etc/passwd | strace cpio -ocvB >/dev/null The last few lines will look like this: ==> close(1) = 0 ==> write(1, "/etc/passwd\n", 12) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) Karsten
