Well, there was a regression when I first uploaded the fix and we noticed that during dump, if there was a hotplug event, it would kill makedumpfile before it completed. When restarting, makedumpfile would find the same file already there, which would prevent the new dump to even start, so the system would reboot with an incomplete dump. That was reported and fixed as LP bug 1811692.
So, I agree that a backport to xenial should already include the fix to bug 1828596, but these changes are not without their regression potentials. The good thing is that we caught this with our current testing, so I would say our testing so far has helped us prevent a big regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655280 Title: ISST-LTE:pVM:roselp4:ubuntu 16.04: cp: error reading '/proc/vmcore': Bad address when trying to dump vmcore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1655280/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
