Hi, Buried in this Fedora thread on the BootLoaderSpec, is the discussion on the technical merit (or not) of using VFAT for /boot which is currently where kdump drops the vmcore dumpfiles. 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 only implements BootLoaderSpec file format for bootloader configuration; not the full spec that includes 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 -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
