Package: cpio
Version: 2.9-14
Severity: minor

I'm using "find . | cpio -pdmv /target" to copy files from one 
filesystem to another.  When encountering files larger than 4GB, 
cpio emits a false error message like the following:

cpio: File ./sw/jigdo/iso/debian-testing-i386-DVD-1.iso grew, 4294967296 new 
bytes not copied

However, the file certainly hadn't changed, and the sha1sum of the 
copied version matches the original.

I encountered this for multiple files, all greater than 4GB, and 
all of them copies were intact, hence the claim that the error
message is incorrect.

Thank you,
Tony
