:This sounds very nice! Would you mind committing this? : :I didn't look at the code, but you probably check for the dumpdev to be used? Overwriting swap with memory contents would be disastrous. : :cheers : simon
We could definitely use a panic-now sysctl. I dont think we can safely
implement a dump-now-and-resume sysctl.
If someone wants to it should be possible to write a gcore-like
program (say, call it kgcore) that creates a kernel core file for a
running system.
