296	Problem Running Mondoarchive 2.2.7 on a Fedora 2 system	kaplan71	Bruno Cornec	"I am trying to run version 2.2.7-r2045 on a Fedora Core 2 system, and the backup process either takes a very long time to complete or hangs during execution. The backup in question is an NFS backup, and the syntax that is used is shown below:

/usr/sbin/mondoarchive -9 -N -O -s 4812m -p mondorescue -n rorecovery.mgh.harvard.edu:/rtp51

Initially the problem appeared to be with the version of tar, 1.13, that came bundled 
with the operating system. That was corrected by upgrading tar to the newer 1.15 version. Once that was done, mondoarchive would commence with the backup.

The first problem that I encountered was that mondo would take upwards to eight hours to complete, and create twenty 4.7 gigabyte iso images for a thirty gigabyte local hard drive. This would occur even though the –N option was used at the command line.

To get around the first problem, all NFS mounts were unmounted with the exception of the destination where the iso images  would be created. During the fileset creation process, mondoarchive would get to ninety-eight percent completion, and then hang for no apparent reason. 

I have enclosed the mindi and mondoarchive logs with this e-mail. I checked for any failed references, and the following entries appeared in the mondoarchive.log file:

mindi --makemountlist //mondo.tmp.G0Uket/mountlist.txt.test failed for some reason.
 
Failed.
[Main] libmondo-tools.c->pre_param_configuration#810: Your distribution did not pass 
Mondo's sanity test.

[Main] newt-specific.c->fatal_error#296: Fatal error received - 'Pre-param   initialization phase failed. Please review the error messages above, make the specified changes, then try again. Exiting...'

Can someone lend a hand on this? Thanks.
