#618 Issue closed: Rear recovering failing on OracleLinux 6¶
rscott101 opened issue at 2015-07-10 16:16:¶
I'm testing Rear on OracleLinux 6 (a fully compatible respin of RHEL6), using Bareos as the backup device.
Restore image built successfully and was used to boot, partition, and restore the machine.
However, it failed installing grub - it appeared to be trying to install into /boot/grub ,not /mnt/local/boot/grub. The error was:-
Installing GRUB boot loader
ERROR: Could not find directory /boot/grub
Any suggestions/ideas for a solution to this please?

Been checking further, and it appears nothing in /boot/grub had been restored? I've checked the backups and the files are present in there.

If Bareos did not restore all the files into /mnt/local then it won't
work.
Maybe there is a bug in the Bareos restore part?
