mondo-devel Mailing List for Mondo Rescue

This mondoarchive run did not use the "-p" option.. when the iso files were 
created, they had the default names:  mondorescue-1.iso, mondorescue-2.iso, 
etc:

-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody   675393536 Oct 31 09:23 mondorescue-1.iso
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody   672808960 Oct 31 09:46 mondorescue-2.iso
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody   131891200 Oct 31 09:49 mondorescue-3.iso

For some reason, the restore processes are looking for 1.iso, 2.iso, etc.

Earlier, we set "-p" to the hostname (hostname-1.iso, etc) and the restore 
processes were looking for mondorescue-1.iso, etc).  That's why we dropped 
the "-p" switch.

I moved the mount point to the NAS and I am currenlty rerunning 
mondoarchive. I'll let this cook and see how it goes.

You have issue for the NFS mount:

running: mount /tmp/isodir//int-mbox3/iso_10-31-05_0902/1.iso -t iso9660
-o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom > /tmp/mondo-run-prog-thing.tmp 2> /tmp/mondo-run-prog-thing.err

...ran with res=8192
        [Main] mondo-rstr-tools.c->mount_cdrom#807: Failed to mount CD-ROM drive
.


Check /etc/exports and error messages on the server side.

Yes.  That is how I use it.  Of course you need to burn the isos to CDs 
or store them on another machine for later burning to disks so you can 
restore from them. 

In the case of a file server for example, where the data is backed up to 
tape using a different program, I use mondo just to be able to do a bare 
metal restore of the OS, after which I will restore the data from tape 
using the other program.  This keeps the mondo archive down to 1 or 2 CDs.

Mondoarchive backup completes successfully.. ran it with and without "-p" 
option set.

The restore fails.. mondo logs end with: Cannot find config info on 
tape/CD/floppy

ok i will skip the floppy creation what i am doing is to store iso's
on the hard disk i.e. not selected 'writing iso's to cd' option. Is
this possible to have bare metal restore from iso's that mondoarchive
has made for me i.e. just have to use the iso's and mondoresore to
reinstall the OS and all my data, is this will be still possible.


Thanks

 From the log it appears that maybe mondoarchive didn't write the CD's 
because it couldn't find the CD writer?  If that is the case, you may 
want to have mondoarchive write iso files and you can burn them to CDs 
yourself.

Something like this:

mondoarchive -Oi -d /share/iso -s 700m -F -E "/share /var/spool/mail"

You can skip the floppy creation.  Easiest way is to include the 
parameter "-F" on your mondoarchive command line.

Hello Bruno,

Installed the new rpms.. the nfs mount timeout issue is resolved, however 
mondorescue aborts early on with the following messages:

....cannot find config info CD/Tape/Floppy".

The GUI gives a message that says: "Failed to find config ....
file/archive ... choose another source".

hi guys,
i am again facing the similar problems with mondoarchive. I am getting
the following error, i was told to use the updated or latest versions
of mondo and mindi and i updated but still the same problems. The log
file is also attached with this.

Writing boot+data floppy images to disk
Boot+data floppy creation failed. However, FYI, you may burn
/root/images/mindi/mondorescue.iso to a CD and boot from that instead
if you wish.


Thanks

If it works don't break it ;-)
There is no need to upgrade for people for which everything is working.

there is need to upgarde for those running through NFS, unable to create
the mindi env (kernel too big). And soon, Andree will commit a patch to
solve the issue around 'grep not found' and the like.

So I only advise to people having issues to take the new version.
Of course, if you want to help, try it and report back here whether it's
working or not for you. This is always helping.

Andree and I are now working with a new SVN repository and our goal is:

1/ To allow mondorescue to continue living with a new SVN repository
2/ To fix bugs mainly on 2.04/1.04 branch on Berlios (you may use the
   bug tracking ystem at http://mondorescue.berlios.de)
3/ To add ia64 full support to 2.04/1.04 branch on Berlios
4/ To work on memory allocation for the next version (the idea is to
   remove all sprintf, strcat, strcpy from the current code, so no really
   new function, but better security). This is for the trunk branch on
   Berlios, which should become 2.05. As well as trying to remove fixed 
   limits in the code.
5/ Support for new distributions, hardware conf, ... for the trunk
   branch on Berlios

We have currently no possibility to modify something on mondorescue.org.
Hugo gave us the right to continue the development, but we need also to
work on the Web site, the delivery process, the domain name, ...
We will see that with Hugo when he has time and when we are ready to do
something for it.

Hope this clarifies,
Bruno.

Mr. Cornec,

I realize that you are putting a lot of effort into Mondo, and have a 
question. Thanks for all of those efforts, BTW.

Most of the posts now suggest downloading 2.04 from the 
monodrescue.berlios.de site as opposed to the mondorescue site. I have been 
running 2.04 for quite some time with RPMs from the mondorescue site. There 
appears to be no problems with backup/restore the last time I tested. Should 
I upgrade (uninstall-reinstall) your RPMs or do you feel confident with what 
was originally out there? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to do so, and will 
probably do so soon. This is just a 'how urgent is it' type question.

Is anyone aware of problems that existed with the original 2.04 RPMs that I 
may not have run into yet that would make this more urgent?

Thanks all

Well no. mondorescue is a disaster recovery tool. Not a backup solution.
For that look at amanda or bacula.

No they don't. That's why I was proposing that you use instead the

Tat version should correct the problem, and if not feel free o fill a
