cpio write i/o error
Post 302070785 by Perderabo on Friday 7th of April 2006 11:32:40 AM

The error message is pretty self descriptive. The kernel tried to write data to tape and the tape driver returned an error. If this used to work ok, it is probably a hardware problem most likely with whatever tape drive you are using. Your tape driver may have logged a message using whatever facility is available on whatever OS you are using. Depending on which model of what family tape drive you have, there may be some operator maintenance that could be tried such as cleaning the transport and/or read/write heads. Also the medium on which you were writing may be bad and you may be able to try another instance of that medium. That's about all I can do with this error report. Oh well, at least you let "tape" slip out. That's more detail than we usually get.

rpm2cpio
rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1) NAME rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive SYNOPSIS rpm2cpio [file.rpm] DESCRIPTION The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu- ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out- put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
