18--------------
19
20denymods="mod1 mod2"
21 Add those modules to the list of modules to NOT load
22
23donteject
24 mondorestore will not eject the CD; this is useful if, for instance, your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive
25
26forcemods="mod1 mod2"
27 Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically
28
29net
30 Activate network support
31
32nodmraid
33 Do not try to start dmraid support
34
35nohw
36 Do not call the mindi-rsthw script which try to restore also your BIOSes configuration (Proliant only)
37
38nompath
39 Do not try to start multipath support
40
41nopart
42 Do not try to partition drives at restore time
43
44noresize
45 Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space
46
47script=/path/to/script
48 Execute a final script before rebooting the machine at the end of the restoration. Could be an NFS shared script e.g.
49
50textonly
51 do not call any Newt library routines; this is unattractive but valuable if you find your Newt library has bugs in it or on ia64
52
53usb=/dev/xxx
54 Use that USB device name as the place to look for backup content. The way drivers are loaded may lead that to the fact you have a different device name at restore time, compared to the one you used at backup time, making mondorestore unable to use the right device natively. This helper corrects that. Pass to it the device name, not the partition name. Example: usb=/dev/sdb
