I'm guessing /cvsroot wasn't empty when you said that. So "/cvsroot/*" got expanded and thus cpio saw an explicit list of things to extract. Try quoting the pattern to prevent the shell expanding it so that cpio gets a nice untouched "/cvsroot/*" string, thus: cpio -iuvdB '/cvsroot/*' < /dev/nst0 Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ In the unlikely event of losing Pascal's Wager, I intend to saunter in to Judgement Day with a bookshelf full of grievances, a flaming sword of my own devising, and a serious attitude problem. - Rick Moen -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
