Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) Issue Template

Fill in the following items before submitting a new issue
(quick response is not guaranteed with free support):

  • ReaR version: Relax-and-Recover 2.4-git.3115.507837a.unknown / 2018-10-16

  • OS version: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

  • ReaR configuration files ("cat /etc/rear/site.conf" and/or "cat /etc/rear/local.conf"):
    OUTPUT=ISO
    BACKUP=TSM

  • Hardware: BareMetal

  • System architecture: x86

  • Firmware: BIOS

  • Storage: Local Disks

  • Description of the issue: The UUID is not being updated properly after performing a restore.

  • Work-around, if any: Manually editting /etc/fstab prior to system reboot

We have two servers that are identical in their configuration which we were using to test DR. One is running Relax-and-Recover 2.4 / 2018-06-21 which comes with CentOS 7.5 and the other is the version provided above.

When we perform the install on the 2.4-git.3115.507837a version the UUID is not being updated properly and system will not boot. To resolve the issue I had to manually update the UUID in /etc/fstab post restore.

@MogiePete
both your rear-osn02.log and rear-2018-10-17T14%3A47%3A25-0400.log
do not contain debugging information (i.e. via rear -D recover)
so that I cannot see how they actually differ.

Can you provide logs with full debugging information?

Additionally I need each of the two disklayout.conf files
of the two servers.

Without debugging information (i.e. a rear -D recover log file)
there is nothing I can do.
