Dave, I don't understand the problem here. ldconfig remove symlinks if they are not cached?? Ok, understand now. I will take this patch.

Created attachment 412159 [details] save/restore ld.so.cache in mkdumprd Description of problem: When mkdumprd is run there's an ldconfig -l call to run ldd with a different cache, and then another ldconfig call follows to re-generate the cache. This can present problems when mkdumprd is run during boot. The kdump service (S20) is started before autofs (S28), so when ldconfig is run it will remove any symlinks to shared libs which reside on autofs managed filesystems. To resolve this we should instead save/restore the original ld.so.cache. This way we ensure we end up getting back to the original cache even if network filesystems aren't yet available to us. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kexec-tools-1.102pre-96.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install shared libs on fs managed by autofs 2. touch /etc/kdump.conf 3. reboot Actual results: symlinks to shared libs on autofs managed fs's are gone Expected results: symlinks are preserved Additional info:
