Kdump does not gather vmcore in the filesystem specified by a label.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Kdump does not gather vmcore in the filesystem specified by a label but in another filesystem.
  • Although I put a label, "/dump" to a filesystem in /dev/sda1 by using e2label and set up kdump to capture vmcore in the filesystem specifying "ext4 LABEL=/dump" in /etc/kdump.conf, the dump was actually captured in another filesystem.
