CPIO failure

RH ES encounters CPIO error
I posted this once before with an irrelevant comment line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
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?
