Why doesn mondorestore work correctly on OpenSuSE 10.2 ?
First, It seems that OpenSUSE 10.2 packaged mondo and mindi but did not include the now required mindi-busybox. Get it from ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/suse/10.2 Second, ext2 capability isn’t included in the OpenSuSE 10.2 kernel. Up to version 1.2.1 of mindi you may want to apply the following patch to /usr/sbin/mindi: — /usr/sbin/mindi 2007-01-20 17:05:51.000000000 +0100 +++ mindi 2007-01-20 17:04:52.000000000 +0100 @@ -2485,10 +2485,16 @@ echo -en “…” dd if=/dev/zero of=$tempfile bs=1k count=$ramdisk_size &> /dev/null || Die “Not enough room for temporary ramdisk (TurnTgzIntoRdz)” echo -en “…” – mke2fs -b 1024 -m 1 -i 2048 -F $tempfile >> $LOGFILE 2>> $LOGFILE +# +# Changed 2 lines to make mindi work on OpenSuse 10.2, which has no ext2 support buildin +# so we use minix for the initrd.
