Please also email to the list the mindi.log files that you compared.

In fact, all the logs could help to find a track (mondoarchive.log & mondorestore.log, on both GNU/Linux distrib versions).

Hello Hugo,

Please remember to us your GNU/Linux distribution name and versions ?

The version on which mondo works well, and the version on which mondo doesn't work anymore.

Rgds,
Victor

Yes. You can look in your init script on your distro to see how udev is
launched on it, and report that here. You can also replace how it's
currently done in the init script of mindi by that new call, and report
your findings, so that I can integrate that in the next version.


That init script is part of the initramfs-tools package. The version on the system that works OK is 0.96-1 and the version on the system that fails is 0.98-5.

I attach the diff between the 2 versions.

But I don't see anything different in the way udevadm is called.

I also looked at the way udevadm is called beyond the initramfs at system boot and I don't see a difference other than a 'queue' directory is no longer needed.


I enclose tar.bz2 files of the 2 versions of initramfs-tools, that contains init, so that you can see what the differences are.
