Hi everyone! I'm trying to get cygwin cpio to view/extract a flash archive made on solaris 9.
According to the docs, a flash archive is just a cpio archive. Reading the during the solaris install works fine, but I am having trouble getting cygwin cpio to view it: E:\>cpio -ivF v240-disbox-v1-08-archive /etc/release cpio: warning: skipped 90486 bytes of junk cpio: warning: archive header has reverse byte-order cpio: warning: skipped 188023 bytes of junk cpio: warning: skipped 1360 bytes of junk cpio: warning: skipped 146962 bytes of junk cpio: premature end of file E:\> both the file and the drive I am reading it with work fine. I can't say I've used cpio much, but the man pages say that it should recognise the format automatically. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? thanks, chris -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
