.LVM thin provisioning storage volumes supported as the `vmcore` dump target
The `kdump` mechanism now supports thin provisioning logical volumes as the `vmcore` target. To configure LVM thin provisioning, complete the following steps:
. Create an LVM volume group.
+
----
vgcreate vg00 /dev/sdb
----
. Create an LVM thin pool of 10 MB available space.
+
----
lvcreate -L 10M -T vg00/thinpool
----
. Create an LVM thin volume with 300 MB of the file system space.
+
----
lvcreate -V 300M -T vg00/thinpool -n thinvol
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg00/thinvol
----
. Configure the LVM thin pool threshold to automatically extend the space.
+
----
cat /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
activation {
thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 70
thin_pool_autoextend_percent = 20
monitoring = 1
}
----
. Enable the LVM thin pool monitoring service for the first kernel.
+
----
systemctl enable lvm2-monitor.service
systemctl start lvm2-monitor.service
----
. Append the following lines to the `kdump.conf` file to set the LVM thin volume as the `kdump` target.
+
----
ext4 /dev/vg00/thinvol
path /
----
. Start the `kdump` service.
+
----
kdumpctl restart
----
. Verify the configuration by triggering a kernel panic and check if the `vmcore` is saved to `/dev/vg00/thinvol`.
As a result, with this enhancement, the `kdump` mechanism now extends capability to save the `vmcore` dump files on thin provisioning storage volumes.
