problem of cpio -idcmv <file-name> for oracle9 downloading files

richard-li · 02-25-2004, 02:54 PM

I download oracle9 , when i gunzip these files, it works well, but when i cpio -idcmv these files, it shows "cpio: warning: skipped 414571095 bytes of junk
00007085: unknown file type
cpio: premature end of file"
who can help me ?
thanks

From the instructions I saw, it looked like this...

- Run "gunzip <filename>". This generates a .cpio file.
- Run "cpio -idmv <filename>". This extracts the files.

You seem to have added a "c" into the command.

Edit: they actually showed this...
Run "cpio -idmv < <filename>. This extracts the files.
but I kinda think the extra < is a typo maybe.

it should be :
cpio -idmv <filename , "<" should be added befor file name, do not give space between "<" and filename.
