My idea is the same as yours. But there is one problem. On RHEL5.0-beta2, a normal user (no root) cannot run makedumpfile directly due to no path of /sbin/makedumpfile. It is not secure to require a root login of a remote host to transport a dumpfile. It is necessary to change makedumpfile directory, or run /sbin/makedumpfile on a remote host: # makedumpfile -S -cd31 -i /tmp/makedumpfile.config /proc/vmcore | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "/sbin/makedumpfile -R dumpfile" Thanks Ken'ichi Ohmichi _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
