r1565 r3136 5 5 So a perl script called parted2fdisk.pl was written that will take as input all the order that mindi/mondo pass to fdisk, translate them to be given to parted and print the result in fdisk format. So this is a filter allowing fdisk replacement. It's only used on ia64. On other archs, parted2fdisk is a link to fdisk. 6 6 7 Thus mindi/mondo launched by root will pass all their call to parted2fdisk instead of the real fdisk, and be able to support the GPT format. It will call fdisk and parted for its work. 8 9 To get it on the system to restore, please do the following as root: 10 11 make -f Makefile.parted2fdisk 12 make -f Makefile.parted2fdisk install 13 mv rootfs/sbin/parted2fdisk-ia64 rootfs/sbin/parted2fdisk 14 15 This will produce a binary version that will be used by mondorestore during the restoration process on ia64 to handle the GPT format. (Note again that on ia32 parte2fdisk is in fact a link to fdisk to avoid any compatibility issue) 7 Thus mindi/mondorestore commands launched by root will pass all their call to parted2fdisk on ia64 instead of the real fdisk, and be able to support the GPT format. It will call fdisk and parted for its work. (Note again that on ia32 parte2fdisk is in fact a link to fdisk to avoid any compatibility issue) 16 8 17 9 The install.sh script will setup everything correctly for you. … … 21 13 On Itanium systems you won't generally find an installed isolinux.bin file which is required by mindi to create the bootable images. You'll generally have to take an i386 package for your distribution and install it on your itanium system so that you provide the required missing file. 22 14 23 On SLES 10, fdisk is no rprovided anymore. You'll have to rebuild the util-linux package by desactivating fdisk removal in the spec file.15 On SLES 10, fdisk is not provided anymore. You'll have to rebuild the util-linux package by desactivating fdisk removal in the spec file. 24 16 25 17 Please report any problem around that tool to bruno@mondorescue.org 26 18 Bruno. 27 19 20 2013-06-08 no binary made anymore, only perl scripts 28 21 2005-12-12 parted2fdisk used everywhere 29 22 2005-03-23 Explain compilation and backup/restore split
