Guys - I use the excellent Mindi/Mondo backup & rescue tools on my RH7.3 box, which have worked perfectly throughout a whole range of recent kernels, up to and including 2.4.19. But, since I started running 2.4.20-pre5 (and now -pre9), Mindi refused to work any more.
I consulted the developer, and we tracked the problem down to this pathetically innocent command sequence in the script:
fdisk -l | grep -w "/dev/hda6"
For some reason, this now produces, entirely at _random_, either one or two lines of output! It was the duplicated output that broke Mindi. It's easily accommodated in the script, but this randomness was never exhibited on any earlier kernels. Is it me, or is this weird?
I hope this is useful in some way - anyone got any ideas?
Cheers Alastair
