[PATCH] makedumpfile: non-cyclic default

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

Make non-cyclic the default, as it is faster.

Dumping a 1TB memory is successful with a crashkernel=512M.
And allow -Y on the command line, as well as --non-cylic.
