mondoarchive - segmentation fault

[shimonl]

rastus,
Thank you, I will check out mindi too. It's "good" to hear that
the segfault is really not just my problem.

BTW, can you elaborate on why you don't like it?

all these posts and nobody checked to see if they can reproduce the problem.

i tried it and i too got a segmentation fault

the problem is probably with the tool

rastus was right, mindi was failing, with:

FATAL ERROR. Sorry, your kernel is too big for your image

I read on their site that this can be fixed by changing the script:
BOOT_SIZE (BOOT_SIZE=36864 instead of BOOT_SIZE=32768) in /usr/sbin/mindi
Actually mine came set at about 20000, so I upped it to 36864 too.
That fixed mindi. :-) A step in the right direction.

But, mondo still segfaults. Oh well.

And thank you muuwanga too!

But, mondo still segfaults. Oh well.

I have used mondo years ago.
I wasn't too happy with it.
Later I switched over to 3 backup systems only
Clonezilla
Lucky Backup ( Dejavu isn't bad either )
Kbackup
All my backup needs taken care of and as happy as a pig in s.t

I know.....I didn't fix your problem

Well, for starters...

on the one occasion I fiddled with the parameters to the point where mondo didn't seg fault, it failed at the boot disc creation point.

I have also always felt that a backup of a working system, ie, backup of "/" in Linux, or of "C:\" in Windows for that matter, is best if it is a snapshot of a non-running system. That way you can be certain that there is no interference from running processes. I'm sure there are people who will disagree. If I hadn't had so much trouble with mondo, I might have modified my view.
