I want to make a rescue CD which will enable me to quickly rebuild a server in case of a disaster.
I have now tried three different methods and all have failed: 1. dfsbuild: Builds a CD and when I boot with it, it ends with RAMDISK: Loading 1272KiB [1 disk] into ram disk ... done Kernel panic: not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0) 2. bootcd: Runing "sudo bootcdwrite" ends with: mkisofs: Permission denied. cannot open '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:0e.0/host0/target0:2:0/0:2:0:0/delete' exit=13 A 'ls' of that device shows the permissions as "--w------- 1 root root" 3. mondo (and I have excluded /var/spool) failed with: Fatal error. Cannot unmount mountpoint (/var/spool/squid/tmp.mondo.19434/mindil Please e-mail a copy of /tmp/mindi.err.30378.tgz to the mailing list. See http://www.mondorescue.org for more information. WE CANNOT HELP unless you enclose that file. Mindi failed to create your boot+data disks. I don't really want to subscribe to a different mailing list every time I want to use a product. Any other tools I can try?
