Problem with mondorescue 2.2.8 restore

[Court Campbell]

You've lost me on that one. I have never typed a kernel name when using mondo. I usually use nuke or interactive. Have you tried running nuke denymods=fdomain?

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hi there --

I did try the nuke denymods=fdomain, and that is when I got confronted with the error indicating that mindi could not find a kernel with the name nuke.

[Court Campbell]

try

vmlinuz denymods=fdomain

Hi there --

I ended up rebuilding the workstation from scratch, and now comes the fun part: determining what needs to be done in order to prevent this incident from reoccurring.

Enclosed with this posting is a copy of the script that is used to create the .iso images.
The script in its current form creates the backups based on the filesystems of the workstation.

I had several ideas concerning the script, and the backup:

1. Going by your example, modify the mindi file, specifically the FORCE_MODS line, on all workstations to include the arguments:

FORCE_MODS="diskdumplib diskdump mptbase mptscsi mptspi mptsas mptscsih ata_piix crc32 mii pcnet32 sunrpc nfs nfs_acl lockd loop"

2. Adding a section to the script that will run mindi, and place the created boot files at the same NFS location where the iso images are located.

Besides or instead of the above, is there anything else that I should consider putting into the script?

Andrew,

Send me your e-mail address. Send it to thouaeti_at_guerrillamailblock_dot_com.

That's a temporary address. It might be easier than using this thread.

Later,
Court

Hi Court --

I tried the address you provided, and was not able to connect to it. Here is my address: ahkaplan@partners.org

Thanks.

Hi Court --

Did you receive my e-mail address? I had not heard from you, so I am just verifying you had received it. Thanks.

Court has been busting his hump on this.

Maybe hand him some points.

I'm reading this but want to build on my original suggestion.

Do a base OS install on the system with fresh media. You may not be able to use SAS drives because FC2 does not support that.

Then mount -o loop name.iso /mountpoint

And recover the necessary files and data that way.

Hi Court --

I work with Data Protector myself. Maybe I can lend a hand. What's going on?
