Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

Hi Alan,

In all the start_udev script versions (RHEL 5, RHEL 5 modified, and RHEL 6), LANG PTSDIR and SHMDIR
variables are not defined before the awk section (line #136) ; so if you put the echoes before that line it's
normal to see these variables empty.

LANG is defined just in the beginning of the awk line.

The "mktemp -d" command creates a directory and returns the directory name.
# mktemp -d
/tmp/tmp.h7g2EEOjgs
# ls -ld /tmp/tmp.h7g2EEOjgs 
drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Apr  2 11:01 /tmp/tmp.h7g2EEOjgs

In the awk section, PTSDIR and SHMDIR are defined in all the start_udev script versions (RHEL 5, RHEL 5
modified, and RHEL 6) through:
PTSDIR=$(mktemp -d)    (line #138)
SHMDIR=$(mktemp -d)    (line #142)

By putting your echoes just after these lines you should see these variables contents.
After doing that, if your echoes still show PTSDIR and SHMDIR variables empty, it could be because in your
case /tmp is full and then mktemp doesn't succeed and returns an empty string.

Rgds,
Victor

Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

I'm having the same problem on RHEL 5.7. I'll try the script and report back.

Nice try Alan, yes it's strange that you didn't see any of your echoes...

Interesting Stefan, I added that information (no more problem when mindi downgraded to 2.1.0) in mondo
Ticket #600 that I created for that problem.
http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/600

I checked mindi 2.1.0 rcS shell-script file, it differs little from the one of mindi 2.1.1, and both call the
RHEL start_udev script...

I saw also that ChangeLog file of mindi 2.1.0 is empty. Hopefully, in NEWS file we can see the changes between
mindi 2.1.1 and 2.1.0.

>From my side, I modified the tmpfs mount section of the RHEL5 start_udev script. I attach the modified
start_udev to this email, if some of you want to try it on a RHEL 5 machine with mindi 2.1.1.

Rgds.

Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

I placed the fixed start_udev script in /sbin and built a new mondorescue.iso.  This had no effect. I still
got no space left on device.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks.
Just noticed that afio & mindi-busybox also are not signed, could you sign those as well?

Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

Hi Victor,
   Thanks for the update. I've modified my script accordingly and added a few more echoes in the
make_extra_nodes function. See the listings below. Look for the "<<--" symbols.

After running archive and burning a new image, this is the output I get during a boot of the DVD:

 udev_root = /dev
 read alanx

 in make_extra_nodes
 sh: /dev/MAKEDEV: unknown operand
 /sbin/start_udev: Line 201: -|: not found

When I boot RHEL5.8 natively, I only get the following:

Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

I swapped in a start_udev from a RHEL 6 box on the RHEL 5.7 box I'm developing my recovery methods on. With this
file, I was able to recover the server. It wouldn't be a big deal to distribute that on servers that require
bare metal restoration but I wonder if it wouldn't be better to pull one from 5.2 (I know that works with
mondo). 

I did have an issue after recovery: I'm 99% certain the system I archived had SELINUX=permissive set in
/etc/selinux/config and when I restored it, it was set to enabled. After the server came back up, I was
unable to login until I booted with selinux=0  Does that sound right? We use system designer and every
server is set to permissive the moment it comes up. I have a high degree of certainty that it was permissive
on this system.

Any thoughts?

Hi Jeffrey,

>>After the server came back up, I was unable to login until I booted with selinux=0
Make sure you perform an SELinux autorelabel after the mondoerestore has finished, we do it like this on RHEL5;

# mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt
# cd mnt
# touch .autorelabel
# cd /
# umount /mnt
# exit

Re: mondorescue: no space left on device

I've had to put an .autorelabel file in / before, but if it's permissive or off it shouldn't have to be done. 

What's the content of /sys/fs/selinux/enforce on the box you backed up?
