Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-10-18 11:41:28 UTC

Description of problem:
VDSM is relying on abrt-ccpp addon to generate core dumps and we disable the systemd's core dump generation machinery.

In CentOS Stream 9 abrt is not available.

I'm rebuilding it from Fedora as a temporary measure but we shouldn't rely on abrt for generating core dumps.

Just fast 1st check, vdsm no longer requires abrt packages

Upstream el9 package:
# rpm -q --requires vdsm-4.50.0.13-1.el9.x86_64.rpm | grep -E "xz|abrt"

Did you also try causing a coredump? Because I had my troubles getting a coredump generated on el9. See my adventure here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2081279
