Package: mondo
Version: 2.20-1.1
Severity: normal

I have a system with two raid devices, swap on /dev/md2 and the main
filesystem on /dev/md3.  I backed up a directory with the following
command:

    mondoarchive -O -i -s 700m -k FAILSAFE -F -I /home/root -d /backup/isos

Then I wrote the CD image from /backup/isos to a CD, and booted from
it to see if the bits compared.  I said "compare" at the boot prompt.
During the boot it started /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 instead of /dev/md2
and /dev/md3.  The compare failed with the message "Could not mount
devices [sic.] /dev/md3 - shall I abort".  I did abort, and I refused
to run the cryptic and evil-sounding post-nuke script since I was just
doing a comparison.  This left me at a shell prompt, running from the
rescue CD.

The workaround was to give these commands:

   mdadm --stop /dev/md0
   mdadm --stop /dev/md1
   mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdc3
   mondoarchive

I think mondoarchive should save /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf during the
backup and consult it during the restore so it can give the RAID
devices the same names they had during backup.
