I don't know anything about rebuilding initramfs; the whole restore process is automatic. (There is a manual method too, but I have not been successful with it either.) # blkid /dev/mapper/centos-root: UUID="fcee6215-e97a-4a4f-9473-5115f8559683" TYPE="xfs" /dev/vda2: UUID="cey71w-b81q-w1se-0Cww-X2cr-Milx-dWw15Z" TYPE="LVM2_member" /dev/vda1: UUID="297e2939-d6f5-431a-9813-9848368ee306" TYPE="xfs" /dev/mapper/centos-swap: UUID="b220b45f-ae22-4393-a74d-90b03d37c41b" TYPE="swap" # cat /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/centos-root / xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=297e2939-d6f5-431a-9813-9848368ee306 /boot xfs defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/centos-swap swap swap defaults 0 0 10.201.40.34:/data/col1/noc-bkups-1 /mnt/dd2500-1 nfs auto,noatime,nolock,bg,nfsvers=3,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0 Any ideas? > Never used mondorestore to clone a VM, have you done it successfully before? I have always had success in all my (numerous) restores/clones with CentOS 5 and 6. I have not managed to have a fully successful (i.e. bootable) restore/clone of a CentOS 7 system yet (due to the above issue). Thanks, Nick
