mondo rescue will not burn a cd or dvd in hardy

Hi,

after 2 weeks of trying I still can't get mondo to burn to a cd/dvd.  It
goes right the way through until it finds a fatal error when time comes
to burn the CD/DVD.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found messages in your log. You maight assign a wrong device when bruning ISO image to CD.
Try cdrecord -scanbus to find the correct device.

How am I fooling Mondo?

I'm using mondo to do full and differential backups.  It works great.
But, the day after I do a full backup my differential backup is over
3GB, and it seems odd that my system would have that many changed files
within one day.  I looked at

    .../mondo.scratch.5973/mondo.scratch.31497/archives/filelist.full.gz

and one file inside that is

    /home/dummy/Pictures/p4180442.jpg

Listing the times on that file I get

    # ls -lu p4180442.jpg
    -r--r--r-- 1 dummy stupid 401408 Mar 17 23:02 p4180442.jpg

    # ls -lt p4180442.jpg
    -r--r--r-- 1 dummy stupid 401408 Jun 29  2005 p4180442.jpg

I haven't done anything to the file by hand in quite a while.  The 2005
year seems about right.  As for the access time (ls -lu) ... I think
that was probably when mondo read the file to create the full backup.
But it was in last night's (3/31/09) list of files to be backed up in
the differential backup.

My supposition is that some process(es) on my system might be changing
time-stamps in some way that mondo watches.  I've looked through my cron
stuff.  I have some jobs that look for things like files matching ,*
older than a week, and removing those, etc.  I'm almost ready to rule

Hopefully fixed in more recent versions. Please look at

Stop using the fail safe kernel.  It should work fine (better) using
your real kernel.

OK. I did that, and it got past that error.

I had used that option since the MondoRescue man page says:
     If you are a Debian or Gentoo user then specify -k FAILSAFE as your
kernel.

–––––––––––––––––-
But now it calls mindi, and then hangs.

I did read at the mondo site that one can test mindi separately. I tried
that, and it runs fine until the "Droppping Libraries" part, and then hangs.
If I interrupt it, the log doesn't show anything useful except "user
aborted".

Seems like this is now the problem.

Re: (no subject)

Best include that log anyway.

IIRC, there was a recent thread here that suggested it hangs  
somewhere for about 3 minutes
before continuing on Debian - perhaps gmane/google can dig that up  
for you.
