Why does /etc/init.d/kdump call cp instead of /sbin/makedumpfile?
Issue
- /etc/init.d/kdump should call /sbin/makedumpfile instead of cp.
- The kdump init script uses "cp --sparse=always /proc/vmcore $coredir/vmcore-incomplete" to save the crashed kernel's memory image instead of /sbin/makedumpfile.
Environment
