Re: [Bug-cpio] cpio can't read large files

[Sean Fulton]

Yes, I tried that but discovered another issue after I mailed you. Tar 
reports symbolic links, whereas find just lists the link, so the output 
from tar and find won't be the same. (tar shows the link and the file it 
is connected to). Which means the only way to do it is to trust tar to 
report all of the files it finds and leave out cpio.

Still a puzzle.
