However if you did *exactly* what you said you did, then the solution is probably simple : > find . -name "foo*" -print | cpio -oB > /dev/rmt/0hn > mt -t /dev/rmt/0hn rewind > cpio -it < /dev/rmt/0hn If you use the "B" option in the output operation ("cpio -o") then you must also use it on the input operation ("cpio -i"), so the last line should be : cpio -iBt < /dev/rmt/0hn Hope this helps. B.T.W. the same is true for the "c" option. Frank Slootweg, Hewlett-Packard, Dutch Customer Response Center.
