Fixed upstream: commit 4ceaa7491e43b015bb2ea58c60aed889098e988d Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Date: Fri Oct 16 09:01:17 2015 +0200 virsh: Use 'format' argument only when specified The condition checking whether --format was specified was incorrect. virsh crashed if the following format was used: virsh dump VM dump --format '' --memory-only
Passed with version libvirt-1.3.1-1.el7.x86_64. Steps: 1.Prepare a running guest: # virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 rhel7.2 running 2.virsh dump rhel7.2 /tmp/rhel72.dump --format '' --memory-only Domain rhel7.2 dumped to /tmp/rhel72.dump 3.Check the format of dump file: #file /tmp/rhel72.dump /tmp/rhel72.dump: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style From the above steps, we can see when pass an empty string to dump option format, dump file can be generated with the default "ELF" format correctly.
