I just downloaded the latest version of GNU cpio 
cpio-2.11.tar.gz<http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.11.tar.gz> from 
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/  I followed the INSTALL directions with 
./configure, make, and make install.  We're running RHEL 54 x64 and cpio 
--verison shows:



cpio (GNU cpio) 2.11



I'm doing some testing and ran the following to backups some files to tape:



usr/bin/find u02/oradata/PPRD -name "*PPRD*.*"|cpio -oav -H newc -C 65536 -O 
/dev/nst0



The command appears to succeed but when I try to get a directory from the tape 
I get partway through the list and then get

[r...@getdatabase /]# cpio -ivt -H newc -C 65536 < /dev/st0
rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 52429312 Oct  2 10:39 
u02/oradata/PPRD/redoPPRD01.log
....
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2147491840 Oct  2 10:39 
u02/oradata/PPRD/devlPPRD01.dbf
Segmentation fault

The device I'm backing up to is an attached HP LT04 drive.  I've been Googling 
for answers and trying different options but can't seem to read my tape cleanly 
so I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I've done something wrong.  Any 
suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you.
