This set of patches implements the remote kernel crash dump capability for Debian and Ubuntu. With this patchset, it is possible to have the result of the makedumpfile pass or the plain vmcore content to be sent remotely to a server running sshd or exporting a writable NFS mountpoint. This new functionality is similar to those currently available on other distributions, namely RHEL and SLES. Details on the implementation and tests can be found in the following blog post : * http://caribou.kamikamamak.com/2014/05/20/remote-kernel-crash-dump-for-debian-and-ubuntu/ --- Louis Bouchard (9): Add SSH remote dump collection mechanism Implement propagate to send ssh key file to remote server Add comments to default/kdump-tools to outline functionality Add a prefix to the timestamped directory Add remote dump information to kdump-config show Add NFS remote dump collection Add NFS info to kdump-config show Reformat of the kdump-tools file Add check to avoid SSH and NFS being set together debian/kdump-config | 249 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- debian/kdump-tools.default | 23 +++++ 2 files changed, 251 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
