I checked the article you mentioned, I don't need ssh or nfs, I just want the
same behaivor on CentOS 7. It dumps everything to
/var/crash/IP-date/{vmlinux,dmesg.txt}
I checked the kdump.conf and I didn't see anything changed, I suspect it might
be a problem from makedumpfile
Is there any way to create a debug output from this program or kdump? Maybe it
failed somehow.
