strace (on a subshell running the above command, required because cpio's
OUTPUT is going to the drive, meaning the shell is actually doing the open)
shows that the open("/dev/hda") is successfully, but
then there is an ioctl() that gets "I/O Error" (strace shows an errno of EIO).
When I try to use /dev/st0, I always get "No Such Device" (errno ENODEV),
regardless of the utility that actually opens the device (shell redirection,
tee, dd, etc).
