MONDO

Nobody's Hero — Wed, 23 Jul 2003 13:03:43 GMT

I have been trying(unsuccessfully) to get mondo to work. I am now using mindi-0.93 and mondo-1.73.

When I run '#mondoarchive -O -t

I see this message in the log:

"Calling MINDI to create boot+data disks
Your boot loader is GRUB and it boots from /dev/sda"

But if you look at my df, root(/) is not sda.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 7708704 4299568 3017556 59% /
/dev/sda1 4071744 117484 3747428 4% /app
/dev/sda2 4071776 32828 3832112 1% /oracle
none 127692 0 127692 0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda5 4071744 119160 3745752 4% /u02

Is this why I can never get mondo to boot and recover.

Is the file /etc/boot/grub/grub.conf consistent?

Whast is the error when you try to restore a system and boot it?

I get an error message that config files cant be found on tape.

As far as grub. I dont have an /etc/boot dir.

I have /etc/grub.conf and it looks like....

root@pompano etc]# more /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

I gave my location without looking at a Linux box.

apologies.

the grup.conf file is supposed to be on the root fs in a directory.

sorry... I didn't realized that /etc/grub.conf is a symbolic link to /boot/grub/grub.conf. This is why you have 2 files :-)

Hello!

Could be that your /dev/sdb1 is labeled as "/"?

Did you ever try Make CD-ROM Recovery (mkCDrec)? It works perfect for me ;-)
