Topic

Updated cpio packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The cpio packages provide the GNU cpio file archiver utility. GNU cpio can be
used to copy and extract files into or from cpio and Tar archives. This update
is related to the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the cpio man page did not document how to use tape

devices that do not use the default block size of 512 bytes for I/O operations.
As a result, the cpio utility could fail with the error message "cpio: read
error: Cannot allocate memory" if another block size was used. With this update,
the man page states that setting the block size with the "--block-size" long
option avoids this problem. (BZ#573943)

All users of cpio are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
