cpio problem

[Sazan Kshetri]

The following cpio command works for the abc.cpio on a SUN box but not on HPUX 11.0 . Is it because abc.cpio was generated on a UNIXWARE system?

$ cpio -iumvdcR < /cdrom/abc.cpio

cpio: Out of phase; resyncing.

End of volume

errno: 25, Can't read input

try this

cpio -icvdumB < /filename

Try to use the B option to cpio, which changes the blocking factor, should remove the error condition.

Hi:

You may have a byte flip problem

try adding the 'b' 's' or 'S' args.

I would first try a listing.

cpio -icvtb < /tmp/abc.cpio
