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.
