cpio "too large to archive in current mode"
807557Apr 26 2010 — edited Jun 27 2010Hello:
I am running Solaris 10 u8 on a V490. Whenever I encounter large files with cpio it gives me the error "too large to archive in current mode"
For example one file is a 12 GB file.
This is the command I am running.
find . -depth -print | cpio -cvo > /nfsshare/my-zone/root/opt/par/dir1/source_data.cpio
For some background I am moving zones from one SAN storage area to another. I have tried several variations of tar and cpio to move these files.
I always encounter some problem. Either the ACLs get messed up (switched to nobody), or the tar ball extracts without errors but there are lots of missing files.
Thanks
