Error with cpio: truncating inode number
I am getting an error with cpio:
Error with cpio: truncating inode number is anyone familar with how to fix that? |
i believe the inode number has to do with a disk partition and/or a Linux native file system, it could be a bad sector or an error on the disk from a disk partitioning tool...
if your OS is functioning good then i would not worry about it too much, however i would consider making backups of all your personal data on the drive you dont want lost such as photos, documents, music & video, bookmarks, software packages, burn it to CDr or DVDr or copy to another harddrive that does not have this error... |
Use c option to get larger number of inode

the adding the c option to your options is the best way to fix this. It allows a number compatable with the linux box and the messages should go away. create an archive with: find . -print|cpio -ovcBO <archive path name> restore archive with cpio -ivcI <archive path name> note: using cpio allows restoration of files with soft links, etc. on systems without gnu tar, which added support for other types of files, which is absent from tars on a lot of systems. |
