Hi Steve, One addition is to check fstab for LVM usage. If used, 'mount --bind' the /dev to gain access to the /dev/mapper entries.
The second thing I found out is that makedumpfile requires /tmp to be writable, so it is not possible to restrict / to be read-only. Here is the modified patch. I have done some more tests. I still have the issue when /var is a JFS file system. When switching /var to ext4, the patch works well. For some reason, busybox has problems mounting JFS file systems. Right now, here is what I exhave tested : /boot XFS / ext4 /usr XFS /var JFS (nok), ext4 (ok) Merry christmas & a very happy new year. ** Patch added: "kdump.initramfs_multipart_828731.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731/+attachment/2643982/+files/kdump.initramfs_multipart_828731.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828731 Title: kdump functionality not working as expected when /boot is a separate partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
