Hi! > This adds the documentation for the extended crashkernel syntax into > Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt. Should you also update kernel-parameters.txt? > +For example: > + > + crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M > + > +This would mean: > + > + 1) if the RAM is smaller than 512M, then don't reserve anything > + (this is the "rescue" case) > + 2) if the RAM size is between 512M and 2G, then reserve 64M > + 3) if the RAM size is larger than 2G, then reserve 128M Why is this useful? I mean... if 64M is enough to save a dump, why use 128M? ...or does the required size somehow scale with memory in machine? (pagetables?)
