Hi Hugo,
Would be great if you could cc the bug report. Other than that, thanks a
lot for sending the additional information through! I think I know what
is going on now: The key point is that all filesystems that are not part
of the mountlist have the 'noauto' flag set. I assume that they are not
mounted when mondoarchive/mindi runs.
mindi's behaviour is actually as designed: Filesystems that have the
'noauto' option set in /etc/fstab and that are NOT mounted will not be
included in the mountlist. So, the mountlist you are getting is actually
correct in that it only contains the filesystems that don't have the
'noauto' option set and assuming that none of the filesystems that have
the 'noauto' option set are mounted. (I have tested this on my end and
it works as expected. It would be great if you could confirm that you
have none of the 'noauto' filesystems mounted when mindi runs, though.)
For the record, the code to explicitly check the above condition went
into mindi in SVN revision 717:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/changeset/717
I don't think that mindi's behaviour is a bug or could be improved
really: mondoarchive (and with it mindi) is not mounting or unmounting
any filesystems of the system it runs on. This is left to the
administrator and, as I believe rightfully so - bad things can happen if
filesystems are willy-nilly mounted and unmounted. So, in your
situation, in order to get everything archived you want to, my
recommendation would be to manually (or using a script) mount the
filesystems in question prior to running mondoarchive. (Alternatively,
in case you don't want to mount them, you might also be able to use '-x'
but that would create rather inflexible dd images of those partitions.)
Also, please note that the mountlist generated is only used for the
restore process. /etc/fstab in a restored system will look exactly the
same as before.
I may have overlooked something, and if so would be keen to find out.
Either way I'd much appreciate your feedback on the above.
Best regards & thanks a lot,
Andree
Thanks a lot Andree. That explains it. The partitions in fstab are
indeed not mounted because if they were mondo would try to back them
up, unless I exclude them with the -E option, if I am not mistaken.
Great job!
Hugo
