I have seen you say this a few times, so I decided to check out the
problem. Yes, indeed the syntax you use in the below lines produces
unuseable output (i.e. a corrupt restore). The problem is not in the
restore mechanism, or in cpio itself, but rather your use of the -v
tag in the creation of the archive.
-v outputs the filenames to stdout, which is the same place the
archive is created. Dumping the filenames into the archive corrupts
archive. Please find attached an ascii unified diff of two archives
one created with -v and one without.
As you can see, using the -v dumps the names in two batches into the
archive. Because this extra data introduced by the user has not been
processed, it causes that portion of the archive to be invalid.
