Would it be possible to have some global "kdump is configured + enabled" flag? Then notifiers could make an informed choice on whether to deep dive to get all the possible details (when there is no kdump) or just skim the high level stuff (to maximize chance of getting a successful kdump). -Tony _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
