Hello Zhou, As I mentioned before, I reworded the message to append a NOTE to the currently-existing WARNING: WARNING: vmcore: This dumpfile is incomplete. This may cause the crash session to fail entirely, may cause commands to fail, or may result in unpredictable runtime behavior. NOTE: This dumpfile may be analyzed with the --zero_excluded command line option, in which case any read requests from missing pages will return zero-filled memory. Queued for crash-7.1.3: https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/e90f049c22582033a7cd4335a6aede6c9126f2cd Thanks, Dave ----- Original Message ----- > Zhou, > > This seems reasonable.
