Hello.
I have a problem which is reproducible with the latest 2.9.90 version
and also with older versions.
echo /tmp/bigfile | cpio -ocv >/dev/null
cpio: /tmp/bigfile: field width not sufficient for storing file size
The bigfile has 9885665280 bytes.
I thought LFS should handle this.
A colleague of mine has suggested this patch

but I'm not sure if this solution is a good idea.
What is your opinion?
Regards Ladislav.
