Unable to copy a 6 GB file with cpio
I’m using Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2).
When I try to copy a 6 GB file it fails:
find /data/TMP -print|cpio -padmuv /backup/bu0/
/backup/bu0//data/TMP
cpio: File /data/TMP/TMP.TMP grew, 0 new bytes not copied
/backup/bu0//data/TMP/TMP.TMP
3899392 blocks
There is a lot of space in /backup, and using cp instead of cpio works fine.
Is there a size limit on how big files cpio can handle?
Is there a better way to make a disk-to-disk backup?
