2005-11-08: There have been several kernel crash dump capturing mechanisms available for Linux for some time now (diskdump, LKCD, mkdump, kdump, etc.), but having all these funky features does not imply that a crash dump can be reliably obtained under any conditions.,
DTT (Dump Test Tool) is a test suite that evaluates the reliability of kernel crash dump capturing mechanisms for Linux by precisely recreating crash scenarios that take into account both the state of HW and the load conditions of the system.
