I saw the proposed patch that changes the current behavior without mentioning it at the summary, so i brought it up. ;)
Sorry about that. It's my fault. But as the result it was lucky that we can have a good discussion about "required action after a fatal MCA".
So far SGI are voting for enabling dumping for MCA, and Fujitsu have implicitly voted to disable (as that is what Seto-san's patch sets). Any other opinions?
Ah, my vote can be invalid. AFAIK, Fujitsu have both situation where kdump_on_fatal_mca should be enabled and where it should be disabled. Therefore I don't mind which is the default. Anyway we need to put a line to /etc/sysctl.conf of one of both. So now "enable vs disable" is not 1:1 but 1:0 or 1.5:0.5. Tony, (if there are no other votes until your poll closing) would you apply my patch modifying the default to 1? Or I need to resend you all just modified the one byte?
