Where is the makedumpfile manual in RHEL5 kexec-tools?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • BUG RHEL5 - makedumpfile manpage missing
  • There seems to be an undocumented feature of makedumpfile which allows multiple dump levels to be specified in /etc/kdump.conf for the core_collector entry.
  • I can't find any references to this feature in either man kdump.conf pages, /sbin/makedumpfile --help, or in /usr/share/doc/kexec-tools-* files. Can you update these files with this useful option please?
  • Example extract of /etc/kdump.conf file:
core_collector makedumpfile -c -d 19,31

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • kexec-tools-1.102pre-161.el5
