kdump dump directory's name changed in RHEL 7.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In RHEL 6 and all previous versions that supported kdump, the core dump directory created by kdump has the form:
<machine/ipaddr>-YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS
  • In RHEL 7, this was changed to:
<machine/ipaddr>-YYYY.MM.DD-HH:MM:SS
  • Note that the RHEL 7 date format violates ISO 8601 which demands that the separator be a hyphen.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
