could you please give a more detailed description?
What system do you use?  What's the output of "find --version"
and "cpio --version"?  What is file /dev/sto?

If, fox example, the output of "cpio --version" doesn't contain
the string "GNU," then it is not the GNU cpio and you have to consult
the documentation to your system.
