Don't think that's your problem. I had a similar problem (using tar, I think)
that required that I inform the saving process of the maximum size that could
be written on the tape. If I let it 'auto-detect' the end of tape then the
reader process could not get to the 2nd tape!
Ah, there it is, in man tar - '-L' or '--tape-length N'. Looks like CPIO
does not have that option (from my quick perusal of 'man cpio').
Anyone else know of how to get cpio to do the right thing here?
