[PATCH RFC] module-setup.sh: install usb serial driver for ttyUSB0
by Dave Young 27 May '16

27 May '16

In case one want to use usb serial console, we need to pack the usb serial driver into kdump initramfs so that one can see the console output on the usb console. I only handled ttyUSB0, this is like a hard code, but it should be enough for most cases. Also only install the driver for the ttyUSB0 device. Tested with adding "console=ttyUSB0" in 2nd kernel commandline. Tested latest F22 kernel, there's CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y, kdump work ok.

Question: is there any automated way of building rpm package?
by HATAYAMA Daisuke 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Hello, Is there any automated way of building rpm package? That is, installing files such eppic, kexec-tools-po, makedumpfile and kexec-tools with expected file names necessary for installation, place them proper file path location and then execute rpmbuild command. I first found out there's no Makefile and INSTALL file, and then I tried preparing them manually in an ad-hoc way, but faced build failure several times and gave up. -- Thanks. HATAYAMA, Daisuke

[PATCH] make kdump saving directory name consistent with RHEL6
by WANG Chao 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Now we use the pattern: <machine/ipaddr>-YYYY.MM.DD-HH:MM:SS while rhel6 uses the following: <machine/ipaddr>-YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS This change may break someone's script and we should change it back to keep consistent between releases.

[PATCH] dracut-moduel-setup.sh: Add the filter to verify the mount directory
by Minfei Huang 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

The crash dump is saved in the /sysroot/crash directory, not the /sysroot/var/crash in the atomic system. We will find the mount point by the command "df", if the directory is mounted. But it is different between atomic system. "df /var/crash" shows the "/var" is a mounted directory, but the "/var" is not a mounted directory, for "df" command. So add the filter to satisfy the mounted directory, that the mount point will appear both "df" and "df $dir".

[Patch v6] kdumpctl: adjust the boot dir if kernel is put in sub dir of /boot
by Baoquan He 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Previously /boot is asumed as the default dir where kernel and initrd is put. However, the directory containing the running kernel image on Atomic systems differs in each installation. Usually something like: /boot/ostree/rhel-atomic-host-b50a015b637c353dc6554c851f8a1212b60d6121a7316715e4a63e2a4113cd72 This means that kdump will not find vmlinuz when installed on an Atomic host, and thus the kdump service will fail to start. In this patch, the kdump boot dir finding behaviour is a little changed. Firstly check whether user has specify a directory explicitly in /etc/sysconfig/kdump. If yes that is respected. Otherwise we assume 1st kernel and kdump kernel are put in the same place under /boot. Then find it according /proc/cmdline and append it to /boot/ Note: So now the KDUMP_BOOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/kdump is set as empty by default. If user set KDUMP_BOOTDIR to a directory, then he need to take care of all related things himself. otherwise kdump script handle it automatically.

[PATCH v4] Hardware iSCSI boot disk support
by WANG Chao 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

In 1st kernel, the iscsi device could be both software or hardware based. But we only use software iscsi in 2nd kernel. This is fine for software iscsi as it's consistent with 1st kernel. However kdump bringing up hardware iscsi in software mode could lead conflicts with dracut bringing up logic, depending on the configuration. If boot disk is hardware iscsi, we should still use hardware iscsi in 2nd kernel. In this case, dracut will bring up the device like it does for normal boot. kdump don't need to do extra work to configure software iscsi. [Quoting from Bao] hw iscsi --> rd.iscsi.firmware=1 need be specified in cmdline of 1st kernel / HBA (bios) \ ip=ibft need be specified in cmdline. But if no rd.iscsi.firmware=1, only bring up that NIC For above 2 cases, we did nothing in kdump shell since it's enough to inherit the kernel cmdline of 1st kernel. And both of them are only concerned with the case which boot disk is dump target. HBA -> /dev/sdx For above case, the hw firmare is very smart and can take care of anything. When system bootup if will appear automatically. This works for kdump kernel too. [End of quoting] The other iscsi cases have very complicated combinations, which I've tried to cover but fail. Since they're the cases not requested by customers, I think we can handle them case by case in the future. Anyway we've been stucking at hardware iscsi for a while. If this kind of partial fix works for most of the use case, I think we can add this first.
