Googling for the exact error didn't help apart from mentioning some 2GB file size limit for ext3 (??)
Is that limit imposed by the file system or CPIO? If you are implying that the FS is imposing the limit then you're mistaken:

The limit is 4TB and your file is just 5.1GB.
Could you simulate this on your system? I imagine you'd get the same error while extracting. Just make a cpio archive of /usr thats around 5 gigs. I'm going to try it on 64 bit box tomorrow. Lets see.
