Description masanari iida 2005-07-26 05:53:16 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716

Description of problem:
Judging from /etc/init.d/diskdump script, we can use "PRESERVEDUMP" option
in /etc/sysconfig/diskdump.
But this option is not documented any where.
(Man, /usr/share/doc/diskdumputils-1.0.1/ )


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
diskdumputils-1.0.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See inside of /etc/sysconfig/diskdump.


Actual Results:  Only DEVICE=  is written

Expected Results:  This option have to be documented in /usr/share/doc/diskdumputils-<ver>/README
and also /etc/sysconfig/diskdump.

Comment 1 Akira Imamura 2005-08-15 21:46:48 UTC

This is not a bug.
PRESERVEDUMP option is not described in any documents intentionally because 
this feature is not supported officially.
Since the feature has not been verified yet at all, please do not use this 
option.
The feature will be available in the near future.

Best regards,
Akira
