fs type and path options in kdump.conf

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Our /etc/kdump.conf is the following:

    ext3 /dev/sda5
path /var/crash

  • And, following is the result of df on this machine.

    /dev/sda3             35550448   2633040  31082384   8% /
/dev/sda7             10153988    202576   9427296   3% /var
/dev/sda6             10153988    154236   9475636   2% /dil
/dev/sda5             17872388    176204  16773656   2% /var/crash
/dev/sda1               101086     11374     84493  12% /boot
tmpfs                   517548         0    517548   0% /dev/shm

  • Looks the line 'ext3 /dev/sda5' in /etc/kdump.conf is not needed. Is it correct?

Environment
