Seems strange to me, too. The passwd file actually didn't change, but all of the uids stored in the i-nodes did.

Ah ok. So it's more a problem with afio I guess, which may not support 64bits ids. Will have a look

I've seen this same problem before on 64-bit machines I've worked on. I didn't know what was causing it, though. That's the one thing I found that kept me from using it, because my boss didn't like that it seemed to be intermittently working. I'll have to see if our 32-bit machines are unaffected.

Cold you provide me the /var/log/mondorestore.log file at restore time please ? from the top of y head, I don't see where MondoRescue is modifying the passwd file (and why it should), so I don't really understand why this is happening. lso the /var/log/monoarchive.log would be nice as well. TIA.
