  • rear version (/usr/sbin/rear -V): 1.19
  • OS version (cat /etc/rear/os.conf or lsb_release -a): RHEL 7
  • rear configuration files (cat /etc/rear/site.conf or cat /etc/rear/local.conf): n/a
  • Brief description of the issue: when hostname contains a dot the HOSTNAME variable in rescue mode is different then in mkrescue/mkbackop mode (within rear)
  • Work-around, if any:
# hostname
client.box
# hostname -s
client
# uname -n
client.box

Internally, REAR defines a HOSTNAME as hostname -s, but REAR writes the uname -n to the rootfs/etc/HOSTNAME file. In recover mode the /etc/HOSTNAME file is used to define the HOSTNAME variable, which is not the same as initially.

As a result the /var/log/rear/rear-$HOSTNAME.log is not found.

@gdha
Replaced where possible the occurence of 'uname -n' with '$HOSTNAME' in
598db76 
the scripts:
- lib/bootloader-functions.sh
- output/PXE/default/81_create_pxelinux_cfg.sh
- output/USB/Linux-i386/30_create_extlinux.sh
- rescue/GNU/Linux/95_cfg2html.sh
- rescue/default/10_hostname.sh
The 'rescue/default/10_hostname.sh' script was responsible for the hostname
mismatch in recover mode. Fix related to issue #1049
