Just curious.... a. What are the essential capabilities/features of kdump? As far as I know kdump is only a stacktrace, but systap tool can deliver stack trace at many user-defined functions....and it has other features to extract out the dynamic values of the variables....much more powerful.... b. Is the various memory snapshot tools provided by /proc fs and /dev/*mem* not enough? (/proc/vmstat, /proc/kcore (piped to xxd)), /proc/iomem, /dev/mem (piped to xxd) etc) On 4/28/08, Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > * Mrunal Gawade [2008-04-25 14:30]: > > > > > I am trying to generate a dump for 2.6.18 Linux kernel to check bugs in my > > kernel code.
