Hello,

I got message when restored in nuke mode with nopart and noresize: Mountlist analyzed. Result: " Gap prior to /dev/sda5. 44 MB unallocated on /dev/sda." Switch to interactive mode?

I have following partition configuration: /dev/sda1 44MB /dev/sda2 extended /dev/sda5 10GB /dev/sda6 XGB ....

There is nothing wrong with partition configuration. Administrator created this weird configuration and system is correctly installed and running, aswell with correct fstab and so on. So, why should nuke mode break and offering me interactive backup? It is restore on the same machine as it was backed up, so there should be automatic non-questioning mode. Either there is partition naming inconsistency, or some unused space (especially when nopart mode), there should be assumed that machine that was backed up has sane admin which set up everything well before backup. So I would appreciate at least some 'nocheckfstab' mode.

Thanks

Hello,

On many PC at our company, I have problem while restoring. Udev assign different device node than it was at backup. There is either problem with ide drives, which use hda instead of libata naming sda. Another problem, some sata drivers will assign eg. /dev/sdf instead /dev/sda (only one hdd in pc). This is because mondo doesn't care about order what modules inserts in boot. I resolved this for myself by modifying init in mondo rescue cd. I save INITRD_MODULES modules from config/start mad config/block int ramdisk plus sr_mod to file, and on restore, just before RunUDevd, I insert them. Also, i copy system's original /etc/udev settings. I think, mindi should include all modules present in ramdisk, and probe them in order he does. That should ensure same names as while backup. It would be nice to have similar behavior in future version.

Thanks.

WELCOME TO MONDO & other text's aren't properly centered when using larger consoles. Also, when making filelists there are 'leftovers' from lines. It can make a lot of 'garbage' which don't put faith in mondo user's. Eg. in libmondo-filelist.c:open_and_list_dir(). I would use something like:

    int cols, rows;
    newtGetScreenSize(&cols, &rows);
    mr_asprintf(&tmp, "Reading %-*s", cols, dir1);

instead of

    mr_asprintf(&tmp, "Reading %-68s", dir1);

That would look more profi :-)
