    Hello,
    Upgrading to Red Hat 7.6 updated ReaR from rear-2.00-7.el7_5.x86_64 to rear-2.4-2.el7.x86_64.
    Running a backup worked with no issues, OS recoveries failed:

Here are the messages from the ReaR recovery console:

ERROR:

Hi @John-Leone , since you are a Red Hat customer, we should work on this in the Red Hat ticket you opened recently.

@rmetrich @John-Leone any update you are willing to share?

rmetrich commented at 2019-01-29 08:01:

@gdha Issue resolved. We believe rear was running while the package got updated, causing updated scripts to be packed into ISO with content (disklayout.conf) computed from older scripts.

Thank you for the prompt reply -we can close this issue then
