Mondo Rescue

I'm using
mondo-1.74_cvs_20031001-1sus82.i386.rpm
because rpm cannot install
mondo-1.74_cvs_20031003-1sus82.i386.rpm
unlike all other rpm packages.

I would like to install the latter if the rpm package gets ok.

At the first try of using mondo, after some minutes of burning to 
DVD+RW, there is a segmentation fault. Log is attached.

I use
SuSE 8.2
mondo-1.74_cvs_20031001-1sus82.i386.rpm
mindi-0.94_cvs_20031003-1.i386.rpm
newt-0.50.34-1.i586.rpm
slang-1.4.8-12.i586.rpm

I've just uploaded some new snapshots. Give them a try & see if they work
for you.

This version also makes the segmentation fault. At the end of writing to 
DVD+RW, as it seems to me. Whether I activate verify or not.

When I mount the written DVD, everything seems readable, but 
mondorestore says:
---FATALERROR--- Media size is less than zero.
Whether /dev/scd1 is mounted or not.

I use
SuSE 8.2
NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A
mondo-1.74_cvs_20031003-1sus82.i386.rpm   from today
mindi-0.94_cvs_20031003-1.i386.rpm   from yesterday
newt-0.50.34-1.i586.rpm
slang-1.4.8-12.i586.rpm

Sorry, the log file attached to the previous mail 3 minutes ago didn't 
include the last try. The rest of the mail is identical.

Additional informations:

During "generating boot+data disks", mondoarchive says "Where is liblvm? 
You need it."
But, according to kcontrol, SuSE package lvm with liblvm-10.so.1 is 
installed.

The default DVD size was set to 4580 MB, but changing this to 4500 MB 
didn't change anything. (My test backup iso size is only 700 MB).

I just backed up and nuked my Win2K/Red Hat 8 PC w/ Mondo v1.7x... and I
used DVD disks. I'm guessing the problem would reveal itself if I had
hardware more like yours. Would you like to tell me more about your
hardware?

I have attached the output from hwinfo.

If you don't need so much informations, here something in words:

Mainboard Fujitsu-Siemens D1219
Graphics onboard: Intel i815
Sound onboard: Intel 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio
NIC onboard: Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 VM
CPU Pentium III 1000
RAM 512 MB
IDE-Disk 120 GB  SAMSUNG SV1204H  as hda
IDE-Disk 30 GB  QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30  as hdc
IDE DVD+RW Burner NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A  as hdd
SCSI-Hostadapter Adaptec 2940
   with SCSI-CD-ROM 4X  SANYO CRD-254S
   and Scanner Mustek ScanExpress 12000SP
ISDN+DSL Card AVM Fritz-DSL
DVB-s Card Hauppauge Nexus-s Rev 2.1

Other NICs and harddisks, that are mentioned by hwinfo, are not in the 
system but were there previously or temporarily.

Does the liblvm message that I mentioned in my last mail have no relevance?
Is it possible the SuSE specialities cause the segfault?

Hope you get a hot trace.

With the unstable daily from today, the segfault is no longer there.
But: I made another change this week: I activated DMA for the DVD+RW 
drive, which was deactivated always before. (I didn't know it until I 
tried to watch DVD-Video.)

The problem with mondorestore stays the same: When it tries to access 
the DVD+RW, it says:
Fatal error... Media size is less than zero.
                                             mindi: no process killed

Doesn't make a difference whether I mount /dev/scd1 or not. Ejecting the 
freshly written DVD before using mondorestore doesn't help, either.

Sounds like a bug to me. Have you tried tracking down the message to a
particular subroutine? Perhaps you could comment out the if/then structure &
see if mondorestore works properly then. Alternatively, you could change
fatal_error() to log_it().

Come on, Walter. :) I just added support for DVDs a week ago... and only to
the unstable branch of Mondo. Don't you think you should put in a bit of
effort to solving the problem yourself? :)

-Hugo

Looking at your attached log I see this


[Main] libmondo-devices.c->interactively_obtain_media_parameters_from_user#1630: media size = -1

which definitely looks wrong.  I'm seeing thge same.  I have not yet had time to try to find where Mondo is getting the media size but I'd guess that where the problem lays?

I notice you are using dvd+rw rather than dvd-rw so am I.  This may or may not be relevant.
