mondo.tmp.xxxxx & mondo.scratch.xxxxx Issues

mindi-busybox_1.18.5-2
mindi_2.1.2-1
mondo_3.0.2-1

Logs are attached for 2 identical backups to local external hard disk. One is specified via GUI the other via CLI. Both complete successfully but different results are obtained for mondo.tmp and mondo.scratch.

#638 Mindi Fails to Create Boot Disk When -T Specified

[Bruno Cornec]

This should be fixed with rev [3154]. A set of packages will be generated ovr the week-end to allow a testing.

Replying to bruno:

This should be fixed with rev [3154]. A set of packages will be generated ovr the week-end to allow a testing.

Unfortunately the change is only partially successful. It works via CLI. It does not work via GUI. Rather than using an incorrect location, it now prevents specifying a backup via GUI. Accepting the tmp location now closes the GUI.

Versions Tested:
mindi-busybox_1.18.5-3_i386.deb
mindi_2.1.620130628101458-0_i386.deb

mondoarchive -O -i -d /media/BACKUP-REPO/backup/home/nfs/mondo -G -4 -p mondoverass-single -s 650m -S /tmp -T /tmp -I "/bin" -E "|/home|"

Result:
Mindi boot ISO produced as /var/cache/mindi/mondorescue.iso
Mondo backup ISO produced as /media/BACKUP-REPO/backup/home/nfs/mondo/mondoverass-single-1.iso
mondo.tmp.xxxxx is removed from /tmp

[Bruno Cornec]

Thanks for your report. Indeed GUI was still broken. At least now with rev [2165] it goes up to the point it does the backup. I'll soon check on my side whether the dirs are erased correctly, and then will produce packages for you to test.

[Bruno Cornec]

tmp and scratch were also removed for me now with that version. I'll provide soon test packages for you to replicate.

[Bruno Cornec]

Considered closed based on the tests done on my side. Feel free to reopen if you still find problems on your side.

[SamK]

Unfortunately it looks as though the ticket was closed prematurely. The fix works In CLI mode but fails in GUI mode.

Logs are attached.

Edit to include both the above and the following.

A further matter has been discovered during testing of the issued fix.

In GUI mode
The default values provided by mondoarchive for the temp and scratch fields are inconsistent.
Temporary directory =/tmp/mondo.tmp.xxxxxx
Scratch directory =//mondo.scratch.xxxxxx

Presumably the default path to scratch dir should also begin /tmp/... rather than the two //.

Hopefully this is easily fixed.
