Netdump is the network dump facility. It's purpose is to transfer an image of a machine's memory over the network when it crashes for the purpose of debugging.
The main advantage of using the network over disk is that network hardware is often simpler than storage hardware (and easier to operate when the kernel is borked). It's licensed under the GPL. The upstream source comes from Red Hat. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
