I have a linux system with cpio 2.8, in this system I have a big file (5343

The 'crc' file format cannot support entries larger than 4GB.
You can try using the old 'odc' format (which supports entries
up to 8GB) or you can use the 'tar' program instead.
GNU tar, star, heirloom tar, bsdtar, and many other tar
implementations can support very large files using 'pax'
or 'gnu' extensions.  (In most cases, these extensions
are enabled by default.)

Is this a bug?
No.
