I recently noticed that I could not extract a cpio archive that I have on my Freebsd 8.0 machine. I thought that the archive might be corrupt so I compared the md5sum to a backup that I have and it was fine. I then tried to extract the archive on Freebsd 7.2 and it extracted without problems. I then tried on a Freebsd 8.1 system and I get the errors again. My archive is actually the output of a nanobsd build that someone created for me. So as root I do > cpio -i < ../_.fsimg And as the output shows it can't create many files. usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.py: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.py' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyo: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyo' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyc: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyc' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.py: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.py' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyo: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyo' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyc: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyc' [snip] Does anyone know why this might be happening? Are there compatibility changes with cpio? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Pico
