kdump.conf comments fixes
The default action comment about "halt" is wrong, default action means the action to perform after a vmcore saving failure. Also there are lots of typos and incorrect expressions. Fix them here as well. [dyoung: fixed trailing whitespaces, drop unnecessary comments, change the alignment.] Reported-by: Donald Berry <dberry@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Acked-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>

|

# NOTE: make sure user has necessary write

# permissions on server

# <mnt>/<path>/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS.
|

#
|
||||
# sshkey <path> - Will use the sshkey to do ssh dump

# /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa.

# /proc/vmcore to /mnt/var/crash/%DATE/.
|
||||
# NOTE: <partition> can be a device node, label or uuid.

# sshkey <path>
|

|

#
|
||||
# path <path> - "path" represents the file system path in which

# vmcore will be saved. If a dump target is specified
|

# in kdump.conf, then "path" is relative to the
|
||||
# specified dump target. Interpretation of path
|

# changes a bit if user has not specified a dump

#
|

# core_collector <command> <options>
|
||||
# - This allows you to specify the command to copy
|
||||
# the vmcore. You could use the dump filtering
|
||||
# program makedumpfile, the default one, to retrieve
|
||||
# your core, which on some arches can drastically
|

# options are not needed here, as the initrd will

# automatically be populated with a config file
|

# appropriate for the running kernel.
|

# Default core_collector for raw/ssh dump is:
|

# "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
|

||||
# "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31".

# kexec-kdump-howto.txt or kdump.conf manpage.

# - This allows you to specify the command to copy

# See /sbin/makedumpfile --help for a list of options.

# The default core_collector for other targets is:
|
||||
# "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
|
||||
#
|
||||
# "makedumpfile -F" will create a flattened vmcore.
|
||||
# You need to use "makedumpfile -R" to rearrange the dump data to
|
||||
# a normal dumpfile readable with analysis tools. For example:
|
||||
# "makedumpfile -R vmcore < vmcore.flat".

#
|
||||
# kdump_post <binary | script>
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to run a specified
|
||||
# executable just after the memory dump process
|
||||
# terminates. The exit status from the dump process
|
||||
# is fed to the kdump_post executable, which can be
|
||||
# used to trigger different actions for success or
|
||||
# failure.
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to run a executable binary
|
||||
# or script after the vmcore dump process terminates.
|
||||
# The exit status of the current dump process is fed to
|
||||
# the executable binary or script as its first argument.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# kdump_pre <binary | script>
|
||||
# - works just like the kdump_post directive, but instead
|
||||
# of running after the dump process, runs immediately
|
||||
# before. Exit status of this binary is interpreted
|
||||
# as follows:
|
||||
# 0 - continue with dump process as usual
|
||||
# non 0 - reboot the system
|
||||
# - Works like the "kdump_post" directive, but instead of running
|
||||
# after the dump process, runs immediately before it.
|
||||
# Exit status of this binary is interpreted as follows:
|
||||
# 0 - continue with dump process as usual
|
||||
# non 0 - reboot the system
|
||||
#
|
||||
# extra_bins <binaries | shell scripts>
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to specify additional
|
||||
# binaries or shell scripts you'd like to include in
|
||||
# your kdump initrd. Generally only useful in
|
||||
# conjunction with a kdump_post binary or script that
|
||||
# relies on other binaries or scripts.
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to specify additional binaries or
|
||||
# shell scripts to be included in the kdump initrd.
|
||||
# Generally they are useful in conjunction with a kdump_post
|
||||
# or kdump_pre binary or script which depends on these extra_bins.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# extra_modules <module(s)>
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to specify extra kernel
|
||||
# modules that you want to be loaded in the kdump
|
||||
# initrd, typically used to set up access to
|
||||
# non-boot-path dump targets that might otherwise
|
||||
# not be accessible in the kdump environment. Multiple
|
||||
# modules can be listed, separated by a space, and any
|
||||
# dependent modules will automatically be included.
|
||||
# - This directive allows you to specify extra kernel modules
|
||||
# that you want to be loaded in the kdump initrd.
|
||||
# Multiple modules can be listed, separated by spaces, and any
|
||||
# dependent modules will automatically be included.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# default <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
|
||||
# - Action to preform in case dumping to intended target
|
||||
# fails. If no default action is specified, "reboot"
|
||||
# is assumed default.
|
||||
# reboot: If the default action is reboot simply reboot
|
||||
# the system and loose the core that you are
|
||||
# trying to retrieve.
|
||||
# halt: If the default action is halt, then simply
|
||||
# halt the system after attempting to capture
|
||||
# a vmcore, regardless of success or failure.
|
||||
# poweroff: The system will be powered down
|
||||
# shell: If the default action is shell, then drop to
|
||||
# an shell session inside the initramfs from
|
||||
# where you can try to record the core manually.
|
||||
# Exiting this shell reboots the system.
|
||||
# Note: kdump uses bash as the default shell.
|
||||
# dump_to_rootfs: If non-root dump target is specified,
|
||||
# the default action can be set as dump_to_rootfs.
|
||||
# That means when dump to target fails, dump vmcore
|
||||
# to rootfs from initramfs context and reboot.
|
||||
# - Action to perform in case dumping fails.
|
||||
# reboot: Reboot the system.
|
||||
# halt: Halt the system.
|
||||
# poweroff: Power down the system.
|
||||
# shell: Drop to a bash shell.
|
||||
# Exiting the shell reboots the system.
|
||||
# dump_to_rootfs: Dump vmcore to rootfs from initramfs context and
|
||||
# reboot. Useful when non-root dump target is specified.
|
||||
# The default option is "reboot".
|
||||
#
|
||||
# force_rebuild <0 | 1>
|
||||
# - By default, kdump initrd only will be rebuilt when
|
||||
# necessary. Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump
|
||||
# initrd every time when kdump service starts.
|
||||
# - By default, kdump initrd will only be rebuilt whennecessary.
|
||||
# Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump initrd every time when kdump
|
||||
# service starts.
|
||||
#
|
||||
#override_resettable <0 | 1>
|
||||
# - Usually a unresettable block device can't be dump target.
|
||||
# Specifying 1 means though block target is unresettable, user
|
||||
# understand this situation and want to try dumping. By default,
|
||||
# it's set to 0, means not to try a destined failure.
|
||||
# override_resettable <0 | 1>
|
||||
# - Usually an unresettable block device can't be a dump target.
|
||||
# Specifying 1 when you want to dump even though the block
|
||||
# target is unresettable
|
||||
# By default, it is 0, which will not try dumping destined to fail.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# dracut_args <arg(s)>
|
||||
# - Pass extra dracut options when rebuilding kdump
|
||||
# initrd.
|
||||
# - Pass extra dracut options when rebuilding kdump initrd.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
|
||||
# - Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain
|
||||
# all valid arguments except hosts to send notification to).
|

# - Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain
|
||||
# all valid arguments except hosts to send notification to).
|

# fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
|
||||
# - List of cluster node(s) separated by space to send fence_kdump
|
||||
# notification to (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump).
|
||||
# - List of cluster node(s), separated by spaces, to send
