Why kdump fail to save vmcore on NFS server with error "Resolver Error 0 ( no error )" ?
Issue
- We wanted to dump vmcore on NFS share( /LinuxDump ) on host "linuxdump" and our kdump.conf file is configured like this ( net linuxdump:/LinuxDump ).
- We are not using DNS in our environment so we specified the NFS hostname in /etc/hosts file like this ( 192.168.122.174 linuxdump ).
- But at the time of panic, vmcore is getting stored on local machine at /var/crash instead of NFS share ( /LinuxDump ) and we are getting following error messages on screen.
