Hi,
Does anyone know what this message means in cpio,

 cpio: xxxxx filename being backed up : truncating inode number


It this a disaster, or do I ignor it?  tar seems to work ok, but
not cpio, if that is acutally an error.


ie,
	find . -print | cpio -ocvB > /dev/rst0

ends up producing the "truncated inode number" notice? as it goes
down through the directories.

bc
