# Configures where to put the kdump /proc/vmcore files # # This file contains a series of commands to perform (in order) when a # kernel crash has happened and the kdump kernel has been loaded # # The commands are chained together to allow redundancy in case the # primary choice is not available at crash time # # Basics commands supported are: # raw - will dd /proc/vmcore into # - will mount fs and copy /proc/vmcore to # /var/crash/%DATE/ , supports DNS # - will scp /proc/vmcore to # :/var/crash/%DATE/, supports DNS # - will mount -t /mnt and copy /proc/vmcore to # /mnt/var/crash/%DATE/ # ifc - instead of bringing up the interface that is normally associated # with the next hop of the ip address you plan to use with scp or nfs # activate this interface instead. This is sometimes needed in the event # that the kdump kernel assigns your interface a different name, given # that it only loads the driver needed for the specific interface you are # going to use # default reboot - if all of the above fail, then reboot the system # and accept the /proc/vmcore is lost, else # comment out 'default' to fall through and fix # the system (if the disk is available) #raw /dev/sda5 #ext3 /dev/sda3 #my.server.com:/export/tmp #user@my.server.com #default reboot
