A simple copy to tape

cd /
find . -print |grep -v "dev/" |grep -v "proc/" |cpio -oBc >/dev/st0

yields the following error message(s)

cpio: File ./sys/module/nfsd/sections/.strtab shrunk by 4085 bytes, padding 
with  zeros 

cpio: error writing NUL's: Invalid argument

While I can come up with several hundred work-arounds all on my own, to the 
best of my knowledge  CPIO should be able to pad files on output.

Any suggestions?
