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.
My colleague now reports that the "c" option seems to be part of the problem; a simple "-idmv" seems to work for him.
So, for the archives, that seems to be the image. We'll probably try this again after we've put SP 3 on the image he's using, just for completeness.
