Hi List I just made a disturbing discovery. My NFS share of iso images generated by mondo are empty.... I have been keeping an NFS share for mondo for years. I restore from it all the time, and occasionally image new systems into it. A week ago there were three folders in that share - two different versions of our current standard desktop, and an old set of images from a testing box. 'Locate' proves I'm not loosing my mind - the iso's were in there. This week I tried mondo for the first time on an Ubuntu 8.04 system. I created a fourth folder in the same share and backed up into that. I later burnt off the small image from /var on that machine and tried to restore to another system unsucessfully. (IDE not SATA likely the issue). I did another imaging run the next day, but didn't review the results. What I don't understand is now three of those four folders are empty. I cannot for the life of me figure out how I could have deleted the contents of three separate folders - two of which that are so important. I am the only one with access to those folders. I'm 90% sure that somehow I managed to delete those images by imaging and/or restoring with mondo. Of course I only figured this out after I'd sync'd the off-site backup, so now I'm toast.... It's not the end of the world, I can pull a desktop from service and re-image it, then go through the process of making it 'generic' again, but the older version is gone forever, and it's going to be a bunch of work either way. I know this hardly qualifies as a bug report, but I wanted to alert the list to the issue, and see if anyone has any idea what the heck I did, and how we can keep somebody else falling victim to the same problem....
