Hello,
The above mentioned web page and script shows a usage of cpio(1)
which I have never seen before:
cpio -dump ${tmpdir}/img
I was curious, looked into the man page of cpio(1) and even in the
online manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/manual/cpio.html
but did not saw anything about the option '-dump'; can someone
bring a light to me? Thx

I think that should be read as a mnemonic combination of the -d -u -m
and -p options (from 'info cpio'):
`-d, --make-directories'
Create leading directories where needed.
`-u, --unconditional'
Replace all files, without asking whether to replace existing
newer files with older files.
`-m, --preserve-modification-time'
Retain previous file modification times when creating files.
`-p, --pass-through'
Run in copy-pass mode. *Note Copy-pass mode::.
This seems to make sense to me.
