RE: [Mondo-devel] Fatal mondo-restore error and partial workaround

[Hugo R. <mon...@bt...>]

Just in case the bug has been fixed since v1.61, please try 
the new snapshots at http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/contribute.html

I _think_ the bug you're reporting has been fixed but I'd
appreciate your feedback on the latest snapshots.

If these snapshots get a positive response from the user base 
then I'll put out another 'point' release.

Subject: [Mondo-devel] Fatal mondo-restore error and partial workaround


Log file is attached. Additional info:

Debian testing/unstable with custom kernel 2.4.20
Using Mondo 1.61/Mindi .81 Debian unstable packages

Archive to CDRW runs fine.
CDRW's boot to the "boot:" prompt fine.
>From "boot:" prompt all options except "expert" fail (log attached)
/tmp/mountlist.txt is present, but empty

I was able to complete a full restore only as follows:
type "expert" at "boot:" prompt
type "mkdir cdrom" at expert "#" prompt
type "mondo-restore"
enter all partitions into blank edit-mountlist screen
Mondorestore then partitions, formats, and restores everything
successfully.

Using the above method to "compare" after reaching expert mode shows
ALL files on my system have changed since the backup, all 100,000+ of
them.

My /etc/fstab follows:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>          <options>              
        <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hda1       /boot           ext2            defaults,ro,noatime

/dev/hda5       none            swap            sw

        0       0
/dev/sda1       /cf             msdos          
defaults,sync,user,noauto       0       0
/dev/cdrom      /cdrom          iso9660         defaults,ro,user,noauto
        0       0
/dev/cdrw       /cdrw           iso9660         defaults,ro,user,noauto
        0       0
#/dev/hda2      /win            vfat            defaults,ro,user,noauto
        0       0

Mondo is a great product, and I'm thankful that I can at least complete
a successful full restore using the above method. However, I would
appreciate any ideas on fixing the above problems, so I can use all of
its funcionality.

TIA
