getfacl: Too many open files

Hi people, I just increased ulimit -n 2048 and it was 1024 and i still
get this message.
It is normal?

and, is there a specific line that tells the iso burned correctly?
thanks,

mindi wont make boot/root disk!!

Hello list

I cannot get mindi to create boot/root floppies, or even make the images on 
the hard drive. I'm assuming they are suppose to be located 
under /root/images/mindi. I have attached the error log that mindi generated. 
Any help is greatly appreciated

gentoo boot disk kernel creation

Hi everybody,

I am trying to create a backup on my Gentoo system running Mondo 2.10 
and Mindi 1.10 (also tried with Mondo and Mindi 1.65/2.04 get same error 
in both). When I try and backup to CD mindi goes and creates the boot-cd 
image however it fails when trying to copy /boot to the ram disk. Here 
is the entry from my mindi.log

--- end of list of files ---
Kernel size = 3435 K
Ramdisk free = 1576 K
Sorry, your kernel is too big for a boot/root floppy.
I'll try the new boot/root two-disk thingy.
Failed to copy /boot to ramdiskWarning - failed to create 1.44MB 
boot/root floppiesMINDI_VERSION is 1.04
Fatal error. Failed to create 2.88MB floppy disk image.

This seems to be the problem Failed to copy /boot to ramdisk. The iso is 
never created due to this problem.

I've also tried to use the FAILSAFE kernel. The boot disks get created 
how when I boot into mondorestore grep and mount are not found by 
blackbox linux. Even though /bin contains grep?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the ramdisk issue? Can I get 
mindi to force the ramdisk size to be bigger? Also anyone know how to 
get the FAILSAFE kernel working on Gentoo?

Kind Regards,
(Continue reading)

Re: mindi wont make boot/root disk!!

The first thing I see is in mindi.log

Please unload some of your modules and try again.

it seems you're out of space, have u checked?

Re: gentoo boot disk kernel creation

I managed to make a 2.4 version kernel and it booted ok. I'm not sure if 
I have to pass a special paramater to the 2.6 kernel to get it to load 
the ram disk. It appears the ramdisk is not working correctly on boot.

I still get the same error as I did with the FAILSAFE kernel when it 
boots my restore disk. mount and grep cannot be found. In the busy box 
directory for example zcat is a soft link to busybox. The busybox 
executable contains most of the functions. grep and mount are not soft 
linked to busybox. If I delete these files and create a symbolic link to 
busybox these command work. For some reason no files will execute except 
ones that are soft linked to busy box.

The mondorestore executable will not load either. Does anyone have any 
ideas why this might be happening?

Just to make sure: The ulimit setting is for the _current_ shell process
only, it is _not_ system wide. So you want to be root, issue the ulimit
command followed by mondoarchive in the same shell. Also, 2048 may not
be enough, especially if you have many small files.

> and, is there a specific line that tells the iso burned correctly?
> thanks,

mondoarchive will certainly tell you if the actual burning failed. Also
there is a verify function in mondorestore that allows you to do a full
verify of your created media against your system.

Cheers
Andree

Re: Re: gentoo boot disk kernel creation

Is mondo development dead?

LVM doesn 't work w/ mondo !

Hi Folks

I have :
- debian sarge
- kernel 2.6.8.2
- mondo 2.0.4-3
- mindi 1.04-3

following command:
a) mondoarchive -Oi -E
" /var/spool/mondo /var/cache/apt/archives /usr/src /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/ntop /var/log/ntop
/var/log/psad /var/log/snort /var/mail /var/spool/mail /var/pool/squid /var/www/squid
/var/log/squid" -k FAILSAFE -s 650m -9 -F -l RAW -f /dev/hda -d /var/spool/mondo
and 
b) mondoarchive -Oi -E
" /var/spool/mondo /var/cache/apt/archives /usr/src /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/ntop /var/log/ntop
/var/log/psad /var/log/snort /var/mail /var/spool/mail /var/pool/squid /var/www/squid
/var/log/squid" -s 650m -9 -F -l RAW -f /dev/hda -d /var/spool/mondo

tested without LVM - works like a charm
With or without -k FAILSAFE and with or without root inside LVM-
doesn't work at all

atached log from mondo restore 

It looks like that It can't recognize/read LVM table or LVM specs

If anybody could gime me a clue I'll be  grateful.

warm regards

How does differential backup actually work?

HI. I've installed mondo and all the basics work fine.
Big thanx for a brilliant product!

Now, to my question:
* I made a full backup a week ago of directory A
* Earlier today I did a full backup of directory B
* After that, I did a DIFFERENTIAL backup of directory A, thinking
that i would save everything since my last backup of A.

This doesen't seem to have happened. Not many files were restored.

Did The differential backup only take files changed after my fulk backup of 
directory B?

If yes, any suggestions on how to use mondo this way?

thanks

/Martin
