Hi Matija,
Thank you for reporting this bug and for giving the pointers below.
Looking at the mailing list thread it looks like the patch listed in
both the mailing list thread and in trac ticket 100 is the same and did
not work because you wrote in the mailinglist thread in response to the
patch:
>>>
[...]
Mondo doesn't run now, but at least it does not destroy the /home.
Last version that I had used before, and which had created backups
successfully was 2.06-4 (Andree's debian package, rebuilt for sarge)
[...]
<<<
So, I need to look into this in a bit more detail. In the latest stable
mindi SVN revision [1005] it looks like the code has just been commented
out:
>>>
FindIsolinuxBinary
FindLiloBinary
fi
# BERLIOS: Remove as too dangerous and now useless
#grep -F " $MINDI_TMP " /proc/mounts | grep -F tmpfs > /dev/null
2> /dev/null && MINDI_TMP=/home/tmpmondo && mkdir -p $MINDI_TMP && LogIt
"Changing MINDI_TMP to $MINDI_TMP because you're using tmpfs for /tmp
\n" ; # tmpfs doesn't like Mindi and /tmp, for some reason
trap "Aborted" SIGTERM
DONE="\r\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDone. "
<<<
I am just not sure whether commenting this out depends on other changes
or not. [Bruno: Would you be able to shed some light on this?]
I might send you a patch to try against mindi-2.20-1. Would you be able
to test it?
I intend to get this fixed over the weekend, i.e. no later than 24 Dec
06.
Best regards,
Andree
