No, the problem is you have a large hard disk :-).
The "-c" for cpio specifies an "old portable (ASCII) archive" format
that can only handle 65536 inodes. 
But you disk have probably more, you can check that with a "df -i" and
add the iused and ifree together.
If i look at the cpio man page, you need to specify a '-H newc' to get
a newer portable ASCII archive format and leave out the "-c" flag.
