While trying to copy files from one filesystem to another on the same host with "find -xdev | cpio -p -m --make-directories /mnt/image/", I get this message: "Value too large for defined data type" when files larger than 2GB are encountered. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount new filesystem on /mnt/image 2.cd <old-filesystem> 3.find -xdev | cpio -p -m --make-directories /mnt/image/ Actual Results: cpio: <filename>: Value too large for defined data type Expected Results: The file should have been copied.

try editing the ebuild and adding this: to the top of the file: inherit flag-o-matic inside src_unpack(): append-lfs-flags see if that fixes things
I've tried with these additions to the ebuild but now I get 1.6G out of 5.6G copied and the following statement: cpio: File ./<filename> grew, 0 new bytes not copied
This patch claims to fix cpio-2.5.90 so that it can support files larger than 2Gb, as well as gcc-3.4.x fixes: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2004-11/msg00001.html I, however, didn't have much success compiling with this patch. I'm attaching a modification to the current 2.5 ebuild and a small patch that allows version 2.5.90 to compile, in the case anybody smarter than me wants to work on it.
Created attachment 46227 [details, diff] cpio-2.5.90.ebuild.diff
Created attachment 46228 [details, diff] cpio-2.5.90-gentoo.diff
ive added 2.5.90 with a few patches from cvs (and the 2gigger patch) re-open if the ebuild in portage doesnt fix this
