[Ron Groen]

Unable to restore from Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 on 2Tb Raid using mindi_2.0.7.5-1_amd64, mindi-busybox_1.7.3-1_amd64 and mindi_2.0.7.5-1_amd64

procedure to reproduce this error.

Install Ubuntu 10.04 AMD 64 on RAID 2x2Tb with boot

mondoarchive (ran with no problems)

place iso on network create new vmware machine with same specs boot from iso

mode=nuke mindi boot ok mountlist analized. Result: Gap prior to /dev/sda2. 426Mb over-allocated on /dev/sda. (and sdb) switch to intracitve Mode? yes mount list gives /dev/md0 / ext4 and /dev/sda2 swap swap 2048000 and /dev/sdb2 swap swap 2048000 mount list incorrect. 1) can not continue to restore.

2) after building the /dev/md0 myself and restoring the data and update-initramfs -u it does not boot it runs into busybox. /etc/mdproc speaks about /dev/md_d0 instead of /dev/md0.

Can you fix this? Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help.

Sorry used mondo_2.2.9.4-1_amd.deb

Could you check the status with the beta of 2.2.9.5 at ​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/ubuntu/10.04

2 TB disks will probably create a problem as we use fdik which doesn't support larger HDD IIRC. So as a workaround you should use parted to recreate your partitions first, and then launch mondorestore to get your data back.

2.2.9.6 is now officially out. Could you try again with it please ?

[Bruno Cornec]

Please reopen if the latest version (2.2.9.7 is out this week-end) doesn't fix it.
