Hi, Indoh-san,
ptdump does not support retrieving the trace data from the live system.
However, the current error message does not tell so.
When the crash analyses a live system, ptdump only displays the following message:
crash> ptdump foo
ptdump: invalid size request: 0 type: "read page for write"
I think it's better to have a different message to let users know why error occurs.
Therefore, I added the following error message in ptdump:
crash> ptdump foo
ptdump: no support on live system
Please merge this patch.
