trueimagemnt error message "Mount Error"

Hi,

we are using TI Server for Linux 8.0.946 on a Debian 3.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) Server. Everything worked well till last friday. We use TI as a desaster recovery (only backing up / and /boot). Data is saved with TSM.

Since last friday our image has grown from 1.5 GB to 6 GB!!! and we don't know why. So I wanted to see what has been backup up. When I try to mount the image I get the following error:

root@server:~ # trueimagemnt -m /mnt/ -f /export/tws/image.tib -i 2
Mount error.
root@server:~ #

The index is correct:

root@server:~ # trueimagecmd --list --filename:/export/tws/image.tib
Num Idx Partition Flags Start Size Type
---- --- -------------------- ----------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Disk 1:
1-1 2 sda1 (/boot) Pri,Act 63 192717 Ext3
root@server:~ #

When I check the image, everything is fine.

Any idea?

Hmmm...it seems to be a problem with the superblock of the partition.

We have installed a RAID device but save the partition over the normal "sd" device. Therefore we are recovering the image via several circumstances. I think this is the problem.

Ok.

Another question. Somebody knows what version of TI will support RAID devices (backup and restore!!!)?

YEESS!!! After updating to version 8.0.962 on Linux everything is working!

And now: "Never touch a running system!"

Bye.
