Ignite-UX - make_recovery fails with Illegal character: "M"

[Walter_10]

I would like to know how to bypass this situation. I can't remove the logical volume neither mount the file system because of environment restrictions.

I have already found a document that explains the reason of this failure, but I can't apply the recommended solution. Kmine: KBRC00008783

Thanks in advance.

Walter

the problem lies within the content of your file:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recover

please post it so we can have a look , also have a look yourself and see if you can find a control M or anything dubios.
cheers

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the lvol temporarily from the /etc/fstab ?
Then run make_tape_recovery and put it back.

Hi,
I'm not an Ignite specialist so forgive me if this is besides the point, but wouldn't this work ?
make_recovery -p
# Edit /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include
# remove the things you don't need
make_recovery -r

Hope this helps,

Tom,

That might help as well. As you mentioned you would have to use make_recovery instead of make_tape_recovery.

Walter,

I have ran into this problem a few times myself. You should be able to comment the unmounted lvol out of the /etc/fstab and then complete your make_tape_recovery. Or you can make a seperate /etc/fstab that you only use when you want to run make_recovery.
1.)cp -p /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
2.)comment out the unmounted lvol's in /etc/fstab
4.)run make_recovery -Av or make_tape_recovery -Av
5.) Once recovery tape has completed, save your revcovery fstab off and move the orignal /etc/fstab back into place:
mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.recovery
mv /etc/fstab.orig /etc/fstab

Hope the this helps out.

Best Regards,
Everett
