Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz

hello all
i have a problem with this archive file.
My download server is download-uk.oracle.com.
File size is correct: 113,053,132 bytes.
Gunzip works fine.
But when i run the cpio command
cpio -idcmv < Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio
i have the following error:
cpio: premature end of file.
Thanks for help

download instructions specifiy to use cpio -idcmv but that is wrong. specifically the d option is wrong. the cpio archive does not use the SVR format, it uses the ASCII format. iirc, cpio -icmv will do it, you may need to add -H odc also.
all of this is if memeory serves...hope it's right.

Error in "cpio -idcmv Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio"

Hello,
when i use 'cpio -idcmv < Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio' to extact the file, but it shows
'cpio: premature end of file'
I have checked the size of Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz is same with the one shown on the download site. Could anyone tell me why? Is it something wrong in the file of the download site? Thanks!

There appears to be some problem when extracting the file on Red Hat (perhaps on other operating systems as well).
We're reuploading the file. It should be changed by 8pm California time this evening.
Let us know if that doesn't fix the problem.

Error on iFS download file instructions

On http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/ifs/htdocs/linuxsoft.html:
Oracle Internet File System, Release 9.0.1 for Linux (Intel)
Download Internet File System for Linux
Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz (113,053,132 bytes)
Directions
To extract the file do the following : gunzip Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz
then: cpio -idcmv < Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio
The instructions say cpio -idcmv. It should be cpio - idmv

I haven't seen that error, but the download manager does produce two files, one .exe and another. The .exe uses the second file during the installation.
Usually the files are either in your browser's \Download folder or on your desktop.
However -- I haven't been able to get the download manager to work in Firefox or Chrome -- it's only worked for me under IE. So you may want to try with IE too.
Also, Adobe doees provide free install support; may be worth a call to see if they have thoughts....

Please modify Oracle IFS for linux download web page

The directions to extract files from Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz are wrong.
the correct commands are:
gunzip Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio.gz
cpio -idmv -H odc < Linux_iFS_901_Disk1.cpio
So please modify the web page.

I think you experienced a server in flux. I just tried it and it works. If it continues to fail, then post more details about how you navigated from the page you referenced.

"Junk in compressed archive" or "No CPIO magic" - scratch RAMfs

Howdy folks,
I have picked up some inspiration as a result of my workplace recently deploying Dell Wyse clients running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with only MS Remote Desktop accessible. After about 6 months of using one of these devices I have harboured the desire to try and accomplish a similar result but by using Linux instead and after browsing the web for distros, I found you guys and Arch Linux.
To make learning easier on my part, I am adopting the "walk along the while line with the system" approach so I can understand what starts what.
So far, without any aid from anyone, I have managed to put together a working stripped down super-simple five-file, one-folder "first stage" PXELINUX bootloader configuration based on the 2015-02-01 ISO release with the total size just under 4MB. This is what is in my config file contains right now:
PROMPT 0
NOESCAPE 1
DEFAULT n
LABEL n
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=filesys.img ro
The end result I am trying to achieve is a reduced-UI graphical OS that is "in-RAM and only RAM" system (with all other storage devices ignored and not accessible or mounted) showing only these desktop icons (no right-click possible with no showing taskbars or the like) with the smallest footprint possible:
Remote Desktop
Sound
Display
Mouse
Keyboard
Sleep (suspend)
Restart
Turn Off
I am currently stuck at the ram disk image phase battling "Junk in compressed archive" or "No CPIO magic" errors.
Has anybody got any advice to share with this rather rusty codger? (I would appreciate that you would refer if possible to the Windows versions of any tools as I am not comfortable yet with the terminology differences)
Bless you all.
(Dear admins and moderators, if I have created this topic in the wrong place, I wish to offer my deepest apologies in advance.)

My apologies jasonwryan. I've edited it as instructed.
Yes, I am having a problem with the 2015-02-01 kernel returning either "Junk in compressed archive" or "No CPIO magic" with this at the end:
end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
What I am trying to do is assemble a file system (init starting point and such) from a blank slate, not from a pre-built image. I'm using the GnuWin CPIO command-line archive utility to make the CPIO archive. Any idea on what I'm doing incorrectly?
Because I am doing this all in a VMware player virtual machine, I can't copy the entire kernel panic error.

CPIO error when copying a tempfile of 3GB

Hi, I'm getting a cpio error copying a tempfile for a 9i DB of size 3GB. I do not have the exact error since it was echoed to screen.
Is there a file size limit for making a tape archive ? If it is, then which one it is?, or maybe there's an option for copying this big files?.
Help wll be appreciated ...!

I have a script which redirects output to a file. This is the error that's shown in file:
/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ART0/drsys01.dbf
/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ART0/cwmlite01.dbf
cpio: /home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ART0/temp01.dbf: Valor demasiado grande para el tipo de datos definido
/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ART0/control01.ctl
/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ART0/control02.ctl
I tried to copy this file only from the command line and the same error comes out.
I have read on the internet that there's a limit of 2GB for tar and cpio commands.
Any comments ...?

What software do I need to download to convert CPIO files to play on my MacBook Pro? I have already downloaded 'Unarchiver' and 'SmartConverter' and I still can't open my files

I'm struggling to find a software that will allow me to open CPIO files on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions anyone?

Try cpio -id < archive.cpio in the Terminal.

How to extract cpio file ?

Hi all,
We are trying to install application server and download file is .cpio file. How do we extract this file. I have tried the following command and its just hanging.
cpio -i (Filename)
cpio -idmv (file_name)
cpio -idcmv (filename)
cpio -Hhpodc -idmv (file_name)
none of above commands are working.
Please advise.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Actually I tried the command cpio -idmv <file_name>I somehow doubt you tried that exact string. Perhaps you tried
cpio -idmv somefile.cpio
In which case it would appear to hang, but in reality it would be waiting for input from standard in. The other posters correctly stated you should use
cpio -idmv < somefile.cpio
which means "run the cpio command with options idmv and take input from the somefile.cpio in place of default standard input device."
Note that in Linux and Unix shells, the triangle brackets have meaning.

Backup fails with a CPIO error even though starting with DD

Hi All,
I have started a db backup of a sap system directly onto a tape.
I am using DD since size of each datafile is more than 2 GB.
In a total of 112 data files, 109 got copied but suddenly, the following error came and brbackup got terminated.
This has happened for the second time and that too after using a separate set of tapes.
Can you please provide me your views on it. I am unable to understand why should the error contain "CPIO" if i am using DD.
The parameter settings have been made correctly in the init<SID>.sap file.

Hari Kishan

Hello,
in addition to all the backup files, brbackup will always write one more file to the tape, right at the beginning. This file is called .tape.hdr0. It contains, in essence, the name of the tape and date of the current backup. As far as I know this file will always be written by cpio, no matter what your tape_copy_command is. At the end brbackup will check this file again, and that step failed here.
So it seems there is a problem with either your tape or your tape drive.
But don't worry about cpio!
hope this helps

Pkgadd problem with reloc as a cpio file

I have a package that we create and distribute (it's a product we have been shipping for a number of years).
After creating the package with pkgm, I put the contents of the reloc into a cpio file named "reloc" (I don't recall where I read about doing this - I don't think it's in the documentation, but it worked fine on Solaris 8). This is primarily for convenience (so that we distribute a program with a half dozen files instead of dozens).
However, we get errors like this when installing our package on Solaris 10 for each file. The installation appears to go OK however.
## Installing part 1 of 1.
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to open </StarSQL/package/SunOS/starsql/reloc/starsql/bin/config-lic> for reading: (20)
Not a directory
If I expand the reloc cpio before installing, the messages do not appear.
Suggestions? Am I using an undocumented feature that has been deprecated?

Hi,
Suppose you called 03|COUNT1|F4 row as "trailer" in recordset structure.
Then you can use the following parameters:
trailer.missingLastfields = ignore - to get converted to XML only fileds that have been filled in
trailer.missingLastfields = add - to have last fileds filled with empty values
trailer.missingLastfields = error - to terminate FCC since file has not complete structure

Linux cpio images with the 9i database problem

Hi,
I have downloaded the 3 gzip files for linux, and converted them to cpio files, then exctracted everything, everything is okay till here.
But I don't have enough disk space for the instllation + the images, so my question is how to convert the 3 exctracted disks into 3 iso files and burn them into cds, I can't seem to find the right parameters for 'mkisofs' command, because that tool keeps renaming files into its own, Anybody could help ???

I'm not sure how much space you have.
I am also VERY new to installing Linux (of any version) and Oracle.
I would try to download one image file at a time.
run gunzip on it,
then run the CPIO -idmv command provided by the Oracle download site and then delete the <file>.cpio.
Copy the <directory>/Disk1 to a /mnt/cdrom/
Delete the <directory>/Disk1 and start from scratch with file2.gz.
Just a suggestion from a newbie.

Oracle 9i Linux installation cpio problem

While using cpio to unpack the 9i installation files for Linux I get "cpio: premature end of file" This only happens on the first file "lnx_920_disk1.cpio". The other files unpack fine.
I am using the following:
- Redhat 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-24.7
- GNU cpio version 2.4.2
- "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux" from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/content.html
I have scoured the internet and found the following suggestions (none of them work):
cpio -icdcmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idcmv <lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -icdcmvB <lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -I lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H new < clnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H odc < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cpio -idmv -H crc < lnx_920_disk1.cpio
cat lnx_920_disk1.cpio | cpio -idvm
I have tried all the -H formats!
What is going on? Why is this only a problem in the first archive file "lnx_920_disk1.cpio"? Even just listing the files out using cpio does not help.
A great many people seem to be having this problem.
-Brent

When you have the cpio.gz files you must first unzip each of them.
I.e. for each file run "gzip -d <file name>.cpio.gz and when it's finished run "cat <file name>.cpio | cpio -icd" (or "cat <file name>.cpio | cpio -id").
Hope this helps

Extracting Windows Programs (cpio)

The new OCS R2 client download is in the cpio.gz format. I can extract the gz file to the cpio file but how do you extract the cpio file on a windows system? I have no problem extracting the HP-UX midtier, infra and store CD on the HP system but what about the windows CDs?

Thank you Dennis.
I took out the 'c' option and extracted the cpio file. But I had a lot "Permission Denied" error messages as following:
ClientCD/Calendar/OutlookConnector/Ctoc.ini
ClientCD/Calendar/OutlookConnector/con_outlook_904.exe
cpio: ClientCD/Calendar/OutlookConnector: Permission denied
ClientCD/Calendar/OutlookConnector
ClientCD/Calendar/SyncClients/Macintosh/Mac_OSX/cal_syncpalm_macOSX_904.hqx
cpio: ClientCD/Calendar/SyncClients/Macintosh/Mac_OSX: Permission denied
ClientCD/Calendar/SyncClients/Macintosh/Mac_OSX
ClientCD/Calendar/SyncClients/Macintosh/Mac_OS9/cal_syncpalm_macOS9_904.hqx
cpio: ClientCD/Calendar/SyncClients/Macintosh/Mac_OS9: Permission denied
Will this cause any problem?
