Is this really fixed on Ububuntu 14.04 LTS? I've just tested triggering a crash dump and it didn't work. A Google search pointed me to this bug. When I see /boot on a separate partition, I just realized it is the damn case! Others like dbgsym kernel from ddeb, kdump-tools, linux-crashdump all installed and properly configured.
The VMs use LVM so they all have a separate /boot partition, that's why kdump was not able to dump the /proc/vmcore. After using the workaround (umount /boot and use the /boot on /), it worked! However, there is no 0_dump file under /usr/share/initramfs- tools/scripts/init-bottom/ WTF? So what is causing the problem in Ubuntu 14.04 with a separate /boot partition? A separate bug needed? -- 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
