Well sort of :-)
I now have a version for u14.04 (named 2.1.6 but with 2.1.7 content !)

Because of this:
hpsa 0000:46:00.0: unrecognized board ID: 0x3234103c, ignoring.

So maybe you should use cciss in fact and deny hpsa instead.
Which model of server do you have ?

Thanks. Will probably add them to this ticket. Never had time to debug
that issue, but it's becoming really annoying so will have to do it.
Main question is when :-(

Please add an enhancement request, and I'll work on it. Can't promise
it'll be soon, but that one should be pretty easy to add.

Can you mount that CD locally and read from it on your original system ?
If yes, maybe you have in the list of modules one missing in mindi (Note
that this limitation is gone in 3.2 where automatic deps are computed !)

> Other issue : we must join in FORCE_MODS mindi the list of usb modules (this

Me no, but you yes once the above task works locally.
Maybe it's a new module for a new kernel for SIO9660 access or somehitng
similar.

Hello ,


I have taken mondoarchive backup on SLES 11.2 virtual machine.when i am
going to install it through that mondorescue.iso image it is not comming up.
So before going to create mondoarchive backup image is there any need to
specify  modules to load on vmware virtual machine in /usr/sbin/mindi
script FORCE_MODS.

Currently we are having V SPHERE 5.0.Is it require any extra module to boot
the mondorescue.iso image.


Any Help highly appreciated.


Thank you.

Hello,

Is there an option to disable waiting for raid software sync in case of
using software raid?

I was trying today to replace my HDDs (from 100 GB to 2 TB) and looking at
/proc/mdstat I have seen that I have to wait 4 hours (probably more as it
is a simple estimation).

My system is a quite old one (Centos 5.10) and most probably my SATA
controller is the bottle-neck here. However, during OS installation the MD
devices are just created and re-sync is done in the background, without
interfering with the installation.

I have understand that it is best to wait for resync before do anything
else - but could there be an option to disable it in 'expert' mode.

Waiting for your feedback,

Hi,

I have created mondoarchive backup on SLES 11.2 and  before going to take
backup i have changed some parameters as fallows

In file
(1) # vi /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

 # By default we accept every block device:
    #filter = [ "a/.*/" ]------>commented  the line

 (2) To mount the entries in fstab with the disk name changed the fallowing

#Yast disk

setting -->device name

(3)Made some changes in mindi script
#vi /usr/sbin/mindi

#DENY_MODS="MPS_Driver_Mapper mps octtldrv tscttl streams kqemu fdomain"
DENY_MODS="kqemu vxfen scsi_debug"- - - - >added these entries
# Force some modules to be included
FORCE_MODS="mptspi"----- -  - > added these entires




After the backup competed i created new machine and try to install it with
the modoarchiveiso image.with nuke i installed it
but after installation it gives me the fallowing error..

Thank you

Hello Victor,

I'm glad you spend your time to answer me, but I need some more information
or confirmation that I understand correctly what you explained to me.

I've read your answer as well as linked issue, but I cannot understand what
should I change. As you said in my mondo-restore.cfg file I have line
"backup-media-type netfs", in fact I can find there more information about
my NFS server and settings I chose during mondoarchive run.
Should I change this configuration? It does not make sense to me, because I
would like to use my backup which is present on NFS server, so what is
there really to change in cfg file (I feel like it is fine - proper to what
I am trying to achieve). I think the problem is with this image I use :(
When I used unetbootin to extract bootable image on my USB and I try to
boot from this USB there is mentioned error and everything stops right
away. I have only console access with "sh-4.3#" but when I try mondorestore
here I got simply "sh: mondorestore: command not found", so from this point
I have no idea what should I do.

I am not even sure how this should work. Should this USB boot properly,
mound my NFS and use ISO from it to start mondorestore? Is this correct
path?
Have you managed to see my usecase to work before, I mean do mondoarchive
using NFS as backup. Then I have couple of ISO files on my NFS server, then
create bootable USB with small mondorestore.iso image and backup to bare
metal machine?

Regards,
Michał


[Quoted message]

Hi,
By modifying your mondo-restore.cfg by hand, it should be possible to
restore. Check it, in that file the backup-media-type is surely set to
“netfs”, as you backuped through NFS.
In your mondorescue iso file, backup-media-type is set in mondo-restore.cfg
file, which is in tmp directory, itself in images/all.tar.gz
*  Check my advise (6 Apr 11:43) in:
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mondo.devel/month=20110401:
*  a mondo-restore.cfg of a direct mondoarchive backup in a directory,
should contain :
  *   backup-media-type iso
*  a mondo-restore.cfg of a direct mondoarchive backup on a USB hard disk,
should contain (for example) :
  *   usb-dev /dev/sdb
backup-media-type usb

Subject: [Mondo-devel] Mondorescue - backup over NFS - CDROM problem

Hello,
I've created NFS backup using mondoarchive, then using unetbootin I created
bootable USB with /var/cache/mindi/mondorescue.iso. When I boot this Mindi
linux from my USB, I got similar message as here:
http://mondorescue-mailing-list.679749.n3.nabble.com/Mondo-devel-Mondorescue-backup-over-NFS-wants-to-restore-from-CD-td4025660.html
Which basically is: "
Optimizing IDE drive access...cat: can't open '/tmp/CDROM-LIVES-HERE': No
such file or directory
I don't know where the CDROM lives. Optimization cancelled.
Executing preliminary script
The mondorestore command was not found on your backup media
It may mean your device is not seen correctly.
Check driver list and error messages.
Type 'exit' to reboot the PC"
and I got bash access, but no mondorestore command can be found.
So my first question regards this problem and I would like to know how to
boot and restore using this iso image. I also attach my log files. I use
Linux Mint 17 with repositories for Ubuntu 14.04, all newest versions.
I have also another more general question regarding NFS backup. I would
like to create backup in some other form than ISO files, is there any other
format possible? So I would like to know how to backup my data with no
compression and no archive, preferably pure data. I tried to use option -u
for streaming device but still I get data that are a little bit archived
and I do not really know how to deal with them, because I see binary files
all over the backup.
My use case is to get as pure data as possible with no concern about disc
space.
Regards,
Michal

Hi all,

I had a system disk crash when I got back from summer holidays.
Just to remind me how the life is :D

Fortunately, my data disk was ok and I had a mondo save on safe place.
Anyway, as it was time for me to replace my ubuntu system to a Debian
one (I prepared that move for some time) I just installed Wheezy and
reconnect my data disk on it. All was fine.

It was also time for me to test in real conditions my mondo savings with
a new system disk but I never been able to restore anything.

I always get "archive file not found" as my iso files are never mounted.
If I do it by hand it works.

In the logs I can read:
1609 [Main] mondo-rstr-tools.c->iso_fiddly_bits#299: Setting isodir to
/tmp/isodir/phlsys/U12.04/sys/140705010001

iso9660 -o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom

The full isodir path as defined at line 1611 is not used and so mondo
cannot find the iso file.

If I do it by and, that's ok:

  Data disk /dev/sdb and is a LVM PV (1To)


The backup disk is mounted as /dev/sdg under /media/sauvegardes every
friday then a mondorescue is launched at night. A full iso backup is
done the 1st week of the month and differential others. A mondorescue
iso file is also built.
This disk uses /dev/sdg as there are some card readers seen as virtual
disks (/dev/sdc to /dev/sdf)

What I try to do is only restore /dev/sd5 and /dev/sda7

So I do :
The new disk and crashed disk are exactly the same. (1To IBM)
Burn a CD from the mondorescue iso file then partition and format the
new disk as the crashed original disk.

Boot on the mondorescue CD. (expert)
The new system disk is seen as /dev/sde (I don't know why, the 4 card
readers are detected before the new disk)
Plug the backup disk. It is then seen as /dev/sdf

Hi,

By modifying your mondo-restore.cfg by hand, it should be possible to restore. Check it, in that file the backup-media-type is surely set to “netfs”, as you backuped through NFS.

In your mondorescue iso file, backup-media-type is set in mondo-restore.cfg file, which is in tmp directory, itself in images/all.tar.gz

*  Check my advise (6 Apr 11:43) in: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mondo.devel/month=20110401:

*  a mondo-restore.cfg of a direct mondoarchive backup in a directory, should contain :

  *   backup-media-type iso

*  a mondo-restore.cfg of a direct mondoarchive backup on a USB hard disk, should contain (for example) :

  *   usb-dev /dev/sdb
backup-media-type usb

Subject: [Mondo-devel] Mondorescue - backup over NFS - CDROM problem

Hello,
I've created NFS backup using mondoarchive, then using unetbootin I created bootable USB with /var/cache/mindi/mondorescue.iso. When I boot this Mindi linux from my USB, I got similar message as here: http://mondorescue-mailing-list.679749.n3.nabble.com/Mondo-devel-Mondorescue-backup-over-NFS-wants-to-restore-from-CD-td4025660.html
Which basically is: "
Optimizing IDE drive access...cat: can't open '/tmp/CDROM-LIVES-HERE': No such file or directory
I don't know where the CDROM lives. Optimization cancelled.
Executing preliminary script
The mondorestore command was not found on your backup media
It may mean your device is not seen correctly.
Check driver list and error messages.
Type 'exit' to reboot the PC"
and I got bash access, but no mondorestore command can be found.
So my first question regards this problem and I would like to know how to boot and restore using this iso image. I also attach my log files. I use Linux Mint 17 with repositories for Ubuntu 14.04, all newest versions.
I have also another more general question regarding NFS backup. I would like to create backup in some other form than ISO files, is there any other format possible? So I would like to know how to backup my data with no compression and no archive, preferably pure data. I tried to use option -u for streaming device but still I get data that are a little bit archived and I do not really know how to deal with them, because I see binary files all over the backup.
My use case is to get as pure data as possible with no concern about disc space.
Regards,
Michal

This should be fixed in the latest 3.2 version. I remade test packages
this week, and hadn't time to test myself. RHEL 7 x86_64 is available at
ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/rhel/7/x86_64 which should be what you
need.

Hi Bruno,

Is the incompatibility of mondo archive and newer Centos distros still there?  This was with not being able to boot from any mondo media...

Thanks.

Hello,

People may start realizing, I'm really slow answering queries. My day
job is taking most of my cycles these days, and the rest is mostly for
family and music. MondoRescue gets what remains sorry, but I still work
on 3.2 for those curious.

Maybe when you have ime you could configure your web server to support
the shtml feature we use on the Web site so that the
http://ftp.igh.cnrs.fr/pub/mondorescue/www/index.shtml displays the
correct interface.

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

I see in your mondorestore.log:
mindi v2.1.1

You could try with mindi 2.1.7-1.

Latest stable versions from ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org are
mondo 3.0.4-1
mindi 2.1.7-1
mindi-busybox 1.18.5-3

My 2 cents,
Victor

Ah right ! I saw that the regexp was buggy. Thanks. I will expect for 
v2.1.7 being released on v14.04

Hi,

Robert, I read that you installed mindi 2.1.6-1.

Last stable mindi version is 2.1.7-1, it can be found in ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/src, and in ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/12.04, but not in ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/14.04
Is it an error, Bruno ?

We can read in ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/12.04/mindi_2.1.7-1_i386.changes:

  mindi (2.1.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
      * Fix 2 bugs in kernel version detection (> 3.9)
