| | 869 | |
| | 870 | Answer from Victor Gattegno: |
| | 871 | |
| | 872 | Depending on the stage at which the restore has failed or succeeded, the log file may be under /tmp or /var/log (copied at the end of the restoration on the restored disk). You may use one of the follwoingmethods to get your log back: |
| | 873 | |
| | 874 | 1/ save {/tmp,/var/log}/mondorestore.log on a mounted USB key, |
| | 875 | if you connect a USB key before making a choice in the "mondorestore choice menu" (interactive, compare, expert...), through Alt-F2 you should be able to create a directory, mount the vfat USB key on it, and copy the {/tmp,/var/log}/mondorestore.log file to the USB key. (the usb_storage" and "vfat" driver modules may be forced at backup with the FORCE_MODS option of the /etc/mindi/mindi.conf file in order to be present at restore time and used that way). |
| | 876 | 2/ save {/tmp,/var/log}/mondorestore.log to a tftp server through tftp |
| | 877 | After the "boot:" prompt, once booted, busybox is used to provide a light Linux environment (with tftp command embedded) at restore time ; so it's possible to shift to a busybox shell through Alt-F2 (or Alt-F3, etc... Alt-F1 allowing to return to mondorestore GUI screen), and to save mondorestore.log by tftp it to a tftp server. |
| | 878 | tftp transfert, from mondo busybox shell to a tftp server: |
| | 879 | # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up (if necessary) |
| | 880 | # ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 (if necessary) |
| | 881 | # cd /tmp |
| | 882 | # tftp -p -l mondorestore.log tftp_server_ip_address |
| | 883 | |
| | 884 | Quick tftp server setup: |
| | 885 | # mkdir /tmp/tftp ; chmod 777 /tmp/tftp |
| | 886 | # /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -v -l -c -s /tmp/tftp |
| | 887 | |
| | 888 | If tftp server -c option is not used, tftp command can return "tftp: server error: (1) File not found", then a solution is to have a file in the tftp server directory with the same name and with the write right permissions (otherwise "Permission denied" error could occur). |
| | 889 | # touch /tmp/tftp/mondorestore.log ; chmod 777 /tmp/tftp/mondorestore.log |
| | 890 | |
| | 891 | 3/ mount a NFS directory exported by a NFS server, and copy {/tmp,/var/log}/mondorestore.log to it |
