Cannot restore iso created with v3.0.4 mondorescue on RHEL5u6

[Matthew]

Hi,

I have been have recently installed v3.0.4 on RHEL5u6. I have upgraded from v2.2.9.5 due to problems occuring when backing up large sparse files and it using v3.0.4.

I have a major problem with the restore.

1. At the end of the restore I have the message ' No tarballs. Strange. Maybe you only backed up freakin' big files?'.
2. exit does not work. It complains about the trap command.
3. When I try to reboot grub is corrupted. I get error 15.

The command I used to create the archive was /usr/sbin/mondoarchive -OVi -R -N -d /opt -S /opt/backups -T /opt/backups -E "/opt|/opt/backups" -s 16384mb -G -p mondo3.0.4-bkup

Can anybody help me please. I have included the logs and error

Could you verify that you media is indeed correct ? It seems that mondorestore was unable to access files under the archives subdir on the media at restore time.

Mount your media from a Linux system and check you can read the files under the archives subdir and that they indeed contain content corresponding to what you expect.

I was able to access the archives subdir and it had the following content.

ls -1 archives/ 0.star.gz 10.star.gz 11.star.gz 12.star.gz 13.star.gz 14.star.gz 15.star.gz 16.star.gz 17.star.gz 18.star.gz 19.star.gz 1.star.gz 20.star.gz 21.star.gz 22.star.gz 23.star.gz 24.star.gz 25.star.gz 26.star.gz 27.star.gz 28.star.gz 29.star.gz 2.star.gz 30.star.gz 31.star.gz 32.star.gz 33.star.gz 34.star.gz 35.star.gz 36.star.gz 37.star.gz 38.star.gz 39.star.gz 3.star.gz 40.star.gz 41.star.gz 42.star.gz 43.star.gz 44.star.gz 45.star.gz 46.star.gz 47.star.gz 48.star.gz 49.star.gz 4.star.gz 50.star.gz 51.star.gz 52.star.gz 53.star.gz 54.star.gz 55.star.gz 56.star.gz 57.star.gz 58.star.gz 59.star.gz 5.star.gz 60.star.gz 61.star.gz 62.star.gz 63.star.gz 64.star.gz 65.star.gz 66.star.gz 67.star.gz 68.star.gz 69.star.gz 6.star.gz 70.star.gz 71.star.gz 72.star.gz 73.star.gz 74.star.gz 75.star.gz 76.star.gz 77.star.gz 78.star.gz 79.star.gz 7.star.gz 80.star.gz 8.star.gz 9.star.gz biggielist.txt filelist.0 filelist.1 filelist.10 filelist.11 filelist.12 filelist.13 filelist.14 filelist.15 filelist.16 filelist.17 filelist.18 filelist.19 filelist.2 filelist.20 filelist.21 filelist.22 filelist.23 filelist.24 filelist.25 filelist.26 filelist.27 filelist.28 filelist.29 filelist.3 filelist.30 filelist.31 filelist.32 filelist.33 filelist.34 filelist.35 filelist.36 filelist.37 filelist.38 filelist.39 filelist.4 filelist.40 filelist.41 filelist.42 filelist.43 filelist.44 filelist.45 filelist.46 filelist.47 filelist.48 filelist.49 filelist.5 filelist.50 filelist.51 filelist.52 filelist.53 filelist.54 filelist.55 filelist.56 filelist.57 filelist.58 filelist.59 filelist.6 filelist.60 filelist.61 filelist.62 filelist.63 filelist.64 filelist.65 filelist.66 filelist.67 filelist.68 filelist.69 filelist.7 filelist.70 filelist.71 filelist.72 filelist.73 filelist.74 filelist.75 filelist.76 filelist.77 filelist.78 filelist.79 filelist.8 filelist.80 filelist.9 filelist.full.gz SERIAL-STRING THIS-CD-NUMBER

Replying to foafltd:

I was able to access the archives subdir and it had the following content.

ls -1 archives/ 0.star.gz

[...]

biggielist.txt filelist.0

[...]

filelist.full.gz SERIAL-STRING THIS-CD-NUMBER

Seems that the file LAST-FILELIST-NUMBER is missing.
