Solve : CPIO doesn't know tape size??

1.	Solve : CPIO doesn't know tape size??
Answer» I am trying to make a tape backup on our old unix SYSTEM. The tape I am trying to make is called a "Root" tape. I am using CPIO to make the tape but when I RUN out of space I get an ERROR instead of it just asking for another tape. My understanding is that there should be a part in the command line that TELLS CPIO how big the tape is. The command line I am using to write to tape is: find . -mount -depth -print\|cpio -ov >/dev/rct0 What would I add to tell it how much space is on the tape? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
