Hi,

What is it that you are trying to do with the cpio command?? What is that you desire to get as an output??

Because you forgot the redirecting '<', and your command is now reading STANDARD INPUT

cppio is a filter, and does not take the in or outputstream as a commandline argument

# cpio -idcmv < file.cpio

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

cpio -idcmv < file.cpio should be the right command.
