Mondo hangs at at libmondo-devices.c:1631 in mount_CDROM_here

[ugob]

I run Mondo on several servers daily. This probably is mostly seen on one server, but I've seen it on another server too.

The first symptom of the problem is that /var is filling up. Why? Because since I run mondo via cron, the output is sent by e-mail. So a very big file can be found in /var/spool/clientmqueue.

If I check the content of this big file, I find this:

---promptstring---1--- CD-ROM device
---promptstring---2--- Please enter your CD-ROM's /dev device
---promptstring---Q---
--> ASSERTION FAILED: `device[0]!='\0''

In /var/log/message, there is:

The command line is:

mondoarchive -e -Oi -9 -F -d /data/images/daily/`date +%A` -E "/data"

I also verify afterwards with:

/usr/sbin/mondoarchive -e -Vi -d /data/images/daily/`date +%A`

I have tried:

-adding the -e switch to avoid ejection -upgraded mondo and mindo to the latest release (.09).

The problem is still there...
