Chris, This list is for the crash utility (which doesn't care where the vmcore dumpfile came from). For kdump-related questions, try the kexec mailing list here: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec Dave ----- Original Message ----- > Hi, > > Buried in this thread on the BootLoaderSpec, is the discussion on the > technical merit (or not) of using VFAT for /boot which is currently > where kdump dumps its captured crashes, I guess. So I'm wondering if > there are any developer concerns about dumps going to VFAT and also if > a viable work around is putting crash dumps in /var instead? > > For reference, BootLoaderSpec in effect requires VFAT for $BOOT which > would contain bootloader configuration, kernel, initramfs, and would > be mounted at /boot > > Fedora thread to make BootLoaderSpec default in Fedora 29 (note that > really this feature is pushing only the BootLoaderSpec file format for > bootloader configuration; not the full spec including the VFAT > requirement - that's still under discussion). > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/CTKJBECHWEVF5IN6FO5TV7SIYWIMKYRT/ > > > BootLoaderSpec > https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ > https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/doc/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION.md > > > Thanks, > > -- > Chris Murphy > > -- > Crash-utility mailing list > Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility > -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
