I am running Sarge.

I apt-get(ted) the stable mondo tools and am trying to
use mondoarchive.

When doing a test archive for my /home dir,
mondoarchive complains of a fatal error:

Fatal error. Filesystem cramfs not supported for
initrd image. Terminating.

Does anyone have a suggestion?


I see you posted to the mondo list also.
Found this:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/02/msg00059.html

Which seems to suggest that you must use a failsafe kernel:

man mondoarchive:

...
-k path Path of user's kernel. If you are a Debian or Gentoo user then specify -k FAILSAFE as your kernel. Otherwise, you will rarely need this option.
...

That said, I see that in my stock Debian I have in the .config:

CONFIG_CRAMFS=y

and I run mondoarchive just fine w/o failsafe.
But I run Sid.
What kernel are you running?
