As a workaround, you should exclude /var/lib/named/proc from your backup, as it is probably a bind mount of your /proc (already excluded). So a virtual FS that doesn't need to be backed up.

Will look at what I can try to avoid that automatically, but please provide your /var/log/mondoarchive.log

Okay that worked but now we are having a new issue: Imaging works, the restore process runs, but on reboot there is no bootloader. I have attached the mondoarchive log.

So you could just re-install the boo loader with your distribution media (work around).

Now in order to fix the problem, I'd need your /var/log/mondorestore.log file to see what happend when mondorestore tried to install the bootloader on your system.

BTW I tried to improve your binded /proc mount issue in rev [2608]

Hello, the same problem appeared on my up-to-date SLES 11 SP1 with /var/lib/ntp/proc/kcore. Excluding that file helped, it had an unbelievable big size shown with ls but no size with du. Looks like something virtual to me.

bye

It's virtual ! (a re-mount of /proc) It contains your memory as a file image :-)

2.2.9.5 is soon to be published and should help with that pb.

Please check that it has been fixed with 2.2.9.5
