Hello,

Trying to backup a CentOS 7.2 (7.2.1511) Server (HP Z440), first using 3.2.2 stable version and 3.3.0 test version.

mondoarchive -O -V -H -r -p $HOSTNAME -E "$EXCLUDE_LIST" -N -d /dev/cdrom -g -s 4480m -9 -S '/tmp' -T '/tmp' -l GRUB -z

When burning DVD, no "boot" options are used when calling growisofs....See log attached.

The resulting DVD won't boot.

Our server has no internet access so I did download rpms from ftp.mondorescue.org<ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org>, and then installed them locally so I surely missed something.

First set of rpms installed (yum localinstall) :

afio-2.5-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm

Any idea why mondo doesn't directly burn bootable dvd on Centos 7.2 ?

Hi Michel,

Maybe it's this issue?
http://trac.mondorescue.org/changeset/3599

You can check that in your /usr/sbin/mindi shell-script.

Thx Victor,

I checked mindi script and it already includes this change.

Michel.

P.S : I've seen your answer browsing the mailing list, but didn't
receive any mail,

need to check my registration options....

Good idea. The bug for me is linked to 3.3.9. Thanks for providing that feedback the final version will have the ifx (hopefully).

Yes. That patch should fix it:
http://trac.mondorescue.org/changeset/3665

New packages are available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/centos/7/x86_64 for you to test.
(you only need mondo-3.3.0-0.20170606202108.s3665M.centos7.x86_64.rpm)

Thanks for answering and all that work you do with Mindi/Mondo.

Hello Bruno,

The patch didn't fix our issue.

I join mondoarchive's log, you'll see that boot options are still missing
when growisofs is called.

Looking the 3665 changeset, I realize I didn't mention an potential
important information.

Our Centos install is not UEFI, it does boot on legacy mode only... and the
patch seems to refer to uefi.

Shall we switch to UEFI ?

Do you need a higher verbose log level ?

Best regards,

Michel.
