Can anyone explain? 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.
