    cd source
    touch file1
    echo "file1" > input
    /usr/sysv/bin/cpio -pdvuml ../target < input
    up to that point every thing is alright file1 on target
    is an hardlink of file1 on source
    run the cpio a second time :
    /usr/sysv/bin/cpio -pdvuml ../target < input
    a temporary file is left in ../target :
    ls -ail ../target :
    36897 -rw-r--r-- 7 root system 0 May 24 07:47 file1
    36897 -rw-r--r-- 7 root system 0 May 24 07:47 v-alaa
    
    The temporary file v-alaa should have be removed.
    

Local fix

  • The aix cpio command in /usr/bin/cpio doesn't exhibit the
    problem.
    If sysv cpio is absolutely required, user might remove
    files
    on target before running the sysv/cpio

    "/usr/sysv/bin/cpio -pdvuml " command second time is leaving
    temporary file.
