Public bug reported: After introducing the udev rules to restart kdump-tools service when there is memory or cpu hotplug, it will be restarted during coldplug as well. This will cause the dump capture itself to be interrupted after a crash. When it is restarted and tries to dump again, it will find an existing dump file and will fail to dump.
My proposed solution is to use a different systemd service for the real capture. ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811692 Title: udev coldplug will interrupt makedumpfile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1811692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
