Hi Florian,

Did you ever consider "inventing" a new header format to allow storing
large (> 8 GB) files?

No, I didn't.  In my opinion, tar should be used for that.

But tar has a very restrictive limit on the file name's length, which is why I stumbled across cpio in the first place.

Regards,
Florian.
