[Bug-cpio] Suggestion

[Gert Bjorkner]

Hi !

Im not so god at unix like system but I have tried to do the following:

I have a large disk with 3,7 TB data in a directory I want to take
backup to two smaller 2 TB disks.

Read about cpio and thought it shold work.
I go to the directory i want to take bakup of with "cd" command.

In directory I want to take backup of I am running command: "find ./*
| cpio -pdumv /tmpmount/disk1/"

It works fine until  disk1 is full, cpio tells me disk is full but I
am not able to tell cpio to continue to backup to my second disk or
other media.

That is my suggestion cpio should ask a question if I want to put rest
of files to another media intead of just tell me disk is full.

I am runing Ubuntu LTS 12.04 with

cpio (GNU cpio) 2.11
