But will cpio split the file it is to large to fit on a floppy? What about the files I have on the disc right now. I was using dos formated floppies and then ran tar to do the copy. Is it possible that I can read them using some of the suggested way?
Using the -O parameter that Steve mentioned will allow cpio to recognize end-of-media and request a media change.
Sheesh. I bet you figured that a corresponding one is needed for input too, didn't you? Anyway, IIRC, "-I" is the parameter. As it finishes reading each media, It prompts for the next and "klnows" when it's read all of them.
