CPIO issue

Hello, I am running Solaris and trying to install Oracle 10g. I have the software on my server and I am trying to extract the file using cpio -idmv. It seems to be taking a very long time and when I monitor it using top, it is sleeping and the cpu is 0%. Any ideas as to what may be going on here? I am running it as root. I have also tried using the Oracle user.

Thank you

What is the exact command? It should be something like:

cpio -idmv < filename.cpio

and not:

cpio -idmv filename.cpio
