we can't use cpio command, because it limited to 2GB as man page said:

Because of industry standards and interoperability goals, cpio does
not support the archival of files larger than 2 GB or files that have
user/group IDs greater than 60 K. Files with user/group IDs greater
than 60 K are archived and restored under the user/group ID of the
current process.
