Here is my /etc/sysconfig/vmdump ....
DUMP_ACTIVE=1
DUMPDEV=/dev/vmdump
DUMPDIR=/var/log/vmdump
DUMP_SAVE=1
DUMP_LEVEL=4
DUMP_COMPRESS_PAGES=0
PANIC_TIMEOUT=60
The first question is )
when I force a panic of the system ( I used a module which calls panic)
sometimes I get the message "Warning: vmdump only contains a dump
header. Printing dump header:" and sometimes I dont ...
The vmdump."BOUNDS" files are the same size .....
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60344741 Mar 13 10:50 vmdump.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60344741 Mar 13 06:54 vmdump.1
vmdump.1 works and vmdump.2 doesnt ????
The second question is) do you know if an NMI will produce a dump ??
and the last question) .... when $? is non zero why do the following
lines in save_vmdump
$LCRASH -r map.$BOUNDS vmdump.$BOUNDS kerntypes.$BOUNDS
\
> analysis.$BOUNDS 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "Error: could not create crash report." >&2
exit 1
fi
produce the following output
Saving crash dump data (if any)
Error: could not create crash reAdding Swap: 530112k swap-space
(priority -1)
port.ut to the sniaconsole
I am not sure if this happens on all linux consoles or is only an snia
console problem .....
