There's never anything in /var/crash/ later on. Hi, Thanks for the report "default shell" means when dump fails it will drop into a shell. In your case the dump successed, so it did not drop into shell, It's ok. For why you did not see vmcore in /var/crash, this might related to abrt-addon-vmcore package. abrt-addon-vmcore will automaticlly move the vmcore to shomewhere. Abrt maintainer said they will fix this. You can just simply remove the abrt-addon-vmcore rpm and have another try. -- Thanks Dave Yes so with the package removal I now find the dump in /var/crash. However, if I didn't specify where it should dump, shouldn't it not assume? And according to the test case, the expected behavior is drop to shell no matter what. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Shell (In reply to comment #3) > Yes so with the package removal I now find the dump in /var/crash. However, > if I didn't specify where it should dump, shouldn't it not assume? Not sure if I understand your question, the default dump target is root filesystem; the default dump path is /var/crash. > > And according to the test case, the expected behavior is drop to shell no > matter what. > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Shell It's right. "core_collector makedumpfile --nosuchoptions" will fail so drop to shell is the expected behaviour. Ok I'll close the bug then. Thanks! |
