I don't see the relation to the rmt program....
.... is you speak about GNU cpio,it is unmaintained since 5.5 years.
It does not handle large files, it does not handle long names correctly
(use the tests from the star tessuite ...).
GNU tar still has some problems with reading POSIX tar files and does not
produce POSIX tar files.
