A DUP against bug 585838? Event posted on 05-17-2010 05:04pm JST by mfuruta Hi Engineering, (In reply to comment #1) > A DUP against bug 585838? Could you please provide test package to verify and check that patch, if needed? Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Masaki Furuta This event sent from IssueTracker by mfuruta issue 872373 Just get the latest kexec tools package out of brew: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/index Yes this is a duplicate of bug 585838. Apologies for missing that when filing this bug. I'd suggest closing 585838 as a dup of this bug since we already have a patch, which is the same as added to RHEL5, checked in and ready to go here. As for the questions raised in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585838#c4 ..this is addressed by rebuilding anytime the extra_modules line is non-null. From bug 459614: "I think perhaps the safest thing to do is look to see if extra_modules is non-null and rebuild if it has anything listed. Its overkill, but it saves us having to worry about wierd cases, like if someone has a 3rd parth module that doesn't update the dep tree or some such." *** Bug 585838 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** waiting for Xudon to test Both the patch in bug 585838 and the patch in this bug solve the problem successfully. The test runs on RHEL6.0-Snapshot-4 and version-release number of kexec-tools is kexec-tools-2.0.0-69.el6 1. When file kdump.conf is as follow: ----- kdump.conf ----- ext4 /dev/vg_dellpe180001/lv_root path /var/crash kdump_pre /var/crash/scripts/kdump-pre.sh kdump_post /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh extra_bins /usr/bin/gcc extra_modules gfs2 ---------------------- running # service kdump restart will always rebuild dumprd as addressed in Comment 4. For patch in this bug, the output looks like this: ... [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-25.el6.x86_64kdump.img Starting kdump: [ OK ] ... For patch in bug 585838, the output looks like this: ... [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Detected change(s) the following file(s): gfs2 Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-25.el6.x86_64kdump.img Starting kdump: [ OK ] ... 2. when file kdump.conf is as follow: ----- kdump.conf ----- ext4 /dev/vg_dellpe180001/lv_root path /var/crash kdump_pre /var/crash/scripts/kdump-pre.sh kdump_post /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh extra_bins /usr/bin/gcc ---------------------- Running # service kdump restart after touching each of the components in line kdump_pre, kdump_post and extra_bins, the output looks like this:(Both patches' output looks the same.) ... [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Starting kdump: [ OK ] [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# touch /var/crash/scripts/kdump-pre.sh [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Detected change(s) the following file(s): /var/crash/scripts/kdump-pre.sh Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-25.el6.x86_64kdump.img Starting kdump: [ OK ] [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# touch /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Detected change(s) the following file(s): /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-25.el6.x86_64kdump.img Starting kdump: [ OK ] [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# touch /usr/bin/gcc [root@dell-pe1800-01 init.d]# service kdump restart Stopping kdump: [ OK ] Detected change(s) the following file(s): /usr/bin/gcc Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-25.el6.x86_64kdump.img Starting kdump: [ OK ] ... NACK. Using the patch in comment #0 on the top of -70.el6 kexec-tools, it re-built kdump initramfs EVERY time no matter the extra_modules has been updated or not using the following kdump.conf for example, # cat /etc/kdump.conf ext4 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root core_collector makedumpfile -c -d 31 default shell extra_modules sym53c8xx OK. I looked the patch and realized that it was designed to re-built initramfs every time if extra_modules option was present. Event posted on 05-24-2010 09:38am JST by mfuruta Hi engineering, Sorry for bothering you,but I would like to inform that TAM still waiting for SEG to provide us test package for NEC, I am so glad if you would let SEG know appropriate version of kexec-tools to do so, when ready. Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Masaki Furuta This event sent from IssueTracker by mfuruta issue 872373 no, its in there, as of version 1.26 of kdump.init Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
