Project Description
The kdump
plumbing is implemented as a dracut
module. The original intention was to reuse the logic that dracut
uses to deal with storage and network, but it turns out that kdump
needs are often very different, so a lot of time is spent on avoiding dracut
features that are undesirable.
Goal for this Hackweek
The goal is to build a fully working kdump initrd without using any “help” from dracut
.
Resources
- kdump source code
- dracut source code
- Feature requested by IBM that forced me to implement block device resolution in the
kdumptool
binary
