Debian Pre-Release of Mondo Rescue 2.2.1, Take 2
mindi-2.21~r1021-2 and mondo-2.21~r1021-2 are now on http://people.debian.org/~andree/packages/ with the following changes:
- petris works again during restore (self-inflicted, oh well).
- Restore of ISO images and friends should now work when gzip (i.e. '-G') is used.
- The network interfaces should be fine now when booting into a restored system for the first time.
- The crash in mondorestore when nuking from tape has disappeared. I have no idea what caused it or why it went away again, though...
- Kernel 2.6.18-3-k7 hangs when 'acpi=off' is specified (which is the default as per mindi's ADDITIONAL_BOOT_PARAMS, so restore fails with this kernel). I have filed bug #406809 which may or may not be related to #389931.
- The issue with booting a (NTFS) Windows partition failing after a restore appears to be normal as per the ntfsclone manpage:
Usually, Windows will not be able to boot, unless you copy, move or restore NTFS to the same partition which starts at the same sector on the same type of disk having the same BIOS legacy cylinder setting as the original partition and disk had.
- I have tried a few things playing with parted and ntfsresize, but so far the only thing that works reliably in order to get Windows to boot is resizing the partition using gparted. I still have to figure out what it is that gparted does differently. (If you know, please tell me!)
