A colleague is having problems using cpio on a SLES 8 image to install a tarball with the Oracle 9 database server software in it. He gets no response at all from the cpio command; the same command on the same tarball on one of his AIX systems gets lots of output immediately, so the tarball seems intact.
cpio -idcmv < lnx390_db_9201_Disk1.cpio
is the command he's trying. The target partition is a Reiser file system on an LVM set of partitions. As far as he can tell, nothing's happening, not even the first mkdir.
Ring any bells, anyone?
Thanks, Nick
