My guess is SCO is writing a different default block size compared to the
linux default.
I think you might need to check what it is on the SCO box, then, on the
Linux box you would have to specify -B to be the same value.
I'd man cpio on each os and see what each one has under the -B option.
Regards,
Jill.

I have a tape which I'm trying to move the customers data from the old SCO
box to the new Linux server but my CPIO won't read the tape.
