I have a very old cpio archive written in approximately 1990. It was most likely written on a VAX VMS (~linux) system. This is historical data and fairly important...
When I attempt to get the files using: cpio -iv --no-absolute-filenames --force-local --format='bin' < FILE_001 I get the following output: cpio: ecl9w2: unknown file type ecl9w2 cpio: g: unknown file type g cpio: ssss: unknown file type ssss cpio: t: unknown file type t wwww 5480 blocks When I then do an 'ls', the 'wwww' file has been created. But none of the other files: 'ecl9w2', 'g', 't' exist. The 'wwww' file is ascii and readable. I know the 'ecl9w2' file is binary. Any suggestions?
